However I have some questions. I have enough to buy an SE/30. 1) Should I buy an apple 40 meg HD or a third party HD? If yes on the third party drive, which brand/manufacturer. 2) Should I get an external or internal HD? 3) How much RAM shoud I purchase? 4) Should I buy an apple keyboard or third party (and which one)? 5) Are there any more price drops expected soon? I can wait about two to three weeks to get a Mac, should I wait longer and how much longer? Please E_MAIL replies. I will summarize if asked to. Thank you for all your advice in advance.
