After my first Powerbook was stolen, I decided to never again buy NEW so my subsequent Macs have been Craigslist finds.

I don't have to have zingiest anything, just have to be able to upgrade to the new OS to access the iCloud, I think. I currently have mac mail (mobile me or whatever they're calling it) and that goes away pretty soon. My current iBook (that I paid $50 for when I dropped my last Powerbook too many times and did something to the video card) won't be able to upgrade. So nothing extra fancy, just not the dinosaur I've got now.

I'm eager to check out these links you provided!

Thanks again!!
