Hi Wayne: Enjoyed your response to Forrest. I am in the same situation
and had a question about the refurbished units at www.surplusaction.com.
I have no problem with buying a factory refurbished unit. Most of those
units are shy on ram and only have 4 mg video boards, but they seem to
represent a noticable value. jerry....
