Dang James! Maybe you should get your will straightened out so a dear friend of yours could inherit the SE/30. Although, at that price it would certainly go to someone who would appreciate it. My favorite Mac is a compact Mac and you're shooting for the the king's crown of compact Macs. There's absolutely nothing wrong with an SE unless you're wanting to hot rod a machine just for the sake of hot rodding it. I souped up an SE/30 but for every day applications I prefer my tame SE/30. I don't know if James is dead or alive today but I'd trust him on the eBay advice.
