Poor timing for vintage computer

Bummer!

The weekly [Saturday] classifieds in the local paper, in the ''computer stuff'' section, lists a "blueberry'' iMac (if memoryserves, 266MHz, 6GB HD, 56MB RAM), for AU$30 (about US$23) -- and it's in the neighborhood where we run most of our errands! Cheap -- **and** local!!! (Most of the nifty, well-priced stuff is on the other side of town, or out of town.)

Unfortunately, I've really maxed out the room to put it (hmm - maybe not...?), and it would be un-politic to get it (for some reason, The Lady thinks we already have too many computers as it is...).

Just plain bad timing. If only the house was already built.

(Granted, there's another one listed on the same page, for AU$60 [US$45] -- so similar bargains
**do** -- and will -- exist.)

Well, it stacks well *on-top* of things. Perhaps a vertical paperweight?

I'm sure that, were it green, it would be a no-brainer decision ;-)
