I don't see why you guys are making a big deal out of the price, considering that it was my money spent, and not your money. I didn't think that $40 was too much, and in fact, I was prepared to pay more, even up to $50. Just being able to go into the shop, see the machine, and walk out with the Mac made it worth so much more than an eBay experience.

And I'm going to buy a CRT from a shop that sells them for $5 next week. I hope that $5 isn't too much too pay for a CRT.

If I had planned ahead, and known that there was a G4 there with no HD and RAM, I might have bought the necessary RAM and HD beforehand, and then gotten the G4. But the fact is, I didn't know that there was a G4 there, and when I did see it, I was going to buy it until I opened it up and saw that the RAM and HD was missing.

But that's that. This G3 is going to be a souped-up games machine!
