I'm one of two people in the Jerusalem are that actively support (as a hobbby) 680x0 Macs. There was a third, but he recently moved to another apartment and had to sell/giveaway/toss any Mac stuff that old. I still have and am actively collecting 680x0 Mac software, and provide boot disks, etc for people that ask. I must admit that is not many, I've seen one IIci this year, and a Plus last year. I have never seen a 400k Mac in the 12 years I have been in this country. Considering they sold for almost $7,000 (250% tax) I'm not surprised. I don't use floppies for much transfering even my SE (4m RAM, 50m HD, 800k floppy) has ethernet and a CD-ROM drive. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson, Jerusalem, Israel gsm at mendelson.com N3OWJ/4X1GM
