Thanks Kate and all, but yesterday I bought a Buy-It-Now 1400 off eBay. It's been a few years since I played with a vintage Mac, so it'll not only let me recover my financial records, but will provide me with a little fun as well. Might even re-join the Vintage Mac group. BTW, I'm located in the middle of the Arizona desert, so finding other Mac users in the area is a remote (pi) possibility; I think there's only one other computer user (PC of course) of any type within a 20-mile radius. (FWIW, I'm using a portable tripod-mounted Direcway satellite internet system.)
