Call it the morality in me, but i find i've enjoyed paying for the few macs i've come across over the last couple of years. I'll admit that i've received a couple freebies, but the ones i've enjoyed the most, i've paid for. When you talk to an original owner of a computer who cared for it enough to keep it all that time till now, and you think of what they paid original price, and the nice condition it's in, i feel it's only fair to compensate them for it. I don't have much spare money either these days, but these original owners are themselves apart of the Macintosh Liberation Army. If you search craigslists etc often enough, you'll find really nice machines for not ridiculous money, but you also won't feel bad for walking off with something you may re-sell later for considerable profit. I also support the idea of searching recycling centers and schools and junk piles, because those machines are that much closer to death, but keep in mind they may need accessories, parts and tlc to keep or get them working as they've probably been neglected for a while. A big part of the hobby is repairing them, but not everyone is up to the task.
