Scott,

If, in fact, you are going to buy a MacIIci, you may want to know that the
Apple CD software is not all ready for use.  I have had serious problems with
the IIci and the CD drive, though I am assured by Apple that this is a temporary
situation.  The foreign format software does not work yet (you can't read high-
sierra format cd's or listen to audio cd's) but an update is said to be
"in the works."
