A friend of mine is looking to buy an inexpensive Mac for his kid.  I saw an ad
for MAYA in the back of MacWeek with used Plus's for $995.

a) Has anyone had any dealings with MAYA?  Good or bad?  How is their used
stuff (it has a 1 year parts/labor warranty, BTW).  How 'bout repairs.

b) Is it a wise idea to buy a used Plus from them (or anyone?).  I realize that
one can get a new Plus for about $300 more, but money is a factor here.  Also,
the new Plus only comes with a 90 day warranty, and the places you can get it
for $1300 don't always have the best service depts.

Any info much appreciated!  I'm interested in MAYA for myself as well, so any
info about them would be most helpful.

Thanks,

Robert
