Great. Congratulations. I hope you have broadband. The Apple Developer Tools part of the setup is 300 MB large. The good news is that almost any Mac you buy now other than very used and obsolete will come with Jaguar. 1GHHz eMac is your best bargain. $999 with a Combo burner but only 128MB of RAM. <http://www.apple.com/emac/superdrive.html> But if you can swing it, perhaps a dual 867 MDD may still be found refurbished for only about $1350 or less - about the same price of an eMac with a SuperDrive with a lot more power and OS 9 boot-ability too and a like new warranty. Good luck.
