Thank you Mike...what you're saying makes total sense. I am still looking: it's always like that...you get in it thinking you know what you want and then there are so many options that it gets hard to make up your mind....add the fact that some of these are harder and more expensive to find in the US and i think it might take a bit longer than expected to make a decision.
That said, to me the search is half the fun :laugh1:
They are hard to find, I just built another one, Ive got one that needs a home.
its an A1200
Has the following upgrades
ACA 1233 Accelerator with 128MB RAM
3.1 ROMS
8GB CF Card with ClassicWB 3.1 Installed
Ethernet Card
It has one missing key that isnt used on the US keyboard layout
A 1084S monitor comes iwth it but its pretty rough, needs some love
Im asking 500 dollars for it. And I just put it in my Square Store
All the pics are listed up on the Square Listing
