I completely concur. Of course, anyone foolish enough to buy Apple's 
RAM is already paying way too much, so why not get ripped off this way 
as well? :)

STRONGLY agreed.

Yep. And don't forget that Panther has faxing built into the OS, but of 
course to send and receive faxes requires ... ta da! ... an analog 
phone line! Even if you already have broadband. So that $29 modem is 
money well spent.
