Take a look at the //c+. I have seen the color system being sold for less
than $800. By combining the simplicity and convenience of the //c with
the advantages of the 800k drive and 4 mgz clock it could be the most
significant step that Apple has taken for a while.
I would recommend upgrading the memory with an Applied Engineering card
but other than that it's a very complete package. I just wish they hadn't
moved the power supply inboard. I prefer my arrangement, where the power
supply warms the space beneath my desk rather than my cpu.
