I'll send you my Jaguar (OSX 10.2) disks as soon as I get around to 
purchasing Panther (10.3), but that might be a while. If anyone else 
wants to cut in line, feel free. :-)

For RAM, check macseek.com -- they do all the comparison shopping for 
you. Every time I've ordered RAM, it's always Coast to Coast (aka 
1-800-4-MEMORY) that brings in the best quote when you factor in 
shipping. A 256 MB stick, which is as low as I'd go if I were buying on 
a tight budget, is (as of today) $39 + shipping. Shipping is anywhere 
from free, if you want to wait for US mail, to $24 for priority 
overnight FedEx. Or maybe someone has an extra RAM stick they feel like 
sharing?
