Ok, so here's the deal -- I'm thinking about getting my mom a new(er) computer for Christmas. As I don't have a spare grand laying around at the moment (I'm a senior in college), I'm looking around at options for a used Mac, and I'm not too sure what would be a good match.
I pretty much just see her running iPhoto, Safari/Firefox, Mail/Thunderbird, Word/Excel, Quicken, and that's about it, although it would be nice if she could burn CDs and if it had AirPort. She doesn't care much about the speed of her machine, so older hardware won't present a problem, and I have Tiger on DVD, and I do want to run Tiger if at all possible.
So, what kind of used Mac should I be looking for? Any recommended dealers?
Thanks-in-advance!
