	I am looking for help in deciding what kind of Mac to buy. Primary
user will be my wife, who is a undergraduate majoring in CS; secondary use 
will be anything else we can think of.

	Specifically, I am looking for advice on

(1) hardware - mac2 or se? how much memory, internal/external drives; 
               color/bw, etc.

(2) software - what we need;

(3) price - she gets the apple student prices at her campus bookstore; do we
            need to shop around anyway?

(4) are ads for used macs posted anywhere other than misc/ba.market ?

	Please e-mail responses; I will collect, summarise and post if there is
sufficient interest.
