[G4] G4--prices?

[Kunga]

That would be ME who posted those warnings Paula. Your information 
about what your friend is thinking of buying is completely inadequate. 
I want to help you both but you have to give us more information.

The rip off G4's are everything outside the new dual 1.25 GHz w/2MB L3 
cache that boot 9 for $1599. But anyone thinking of buying a new Mac 
now should be thinking of waiting for the G5 and buying the dual 2 GHz 
G5 in September or October for $2999.

Please provide more detail about your friend's situation and why she 
wants to buy a Mac for what and how much money can she afford to spend? 
Way more detail. Send me off list if you are uncomfortable sharing with 
the whole list.

Or send me your and/or her AIM name and we'll iChat AV about it. It's a 
very long process and this email is very inefficient.
