I just bought 3 of the refurbished Performa 6300's that the User Group
Store (htto://www.ugstore.com) or 800-350-4842 is selling. They come
with a 603e @100 mh processor, a 1.2.gig HD, a 4x CD rom, Global Village
internal 28.8 modem and some software. I added 32 megs to bring it ip to
48 and it works fine using the software you mentioned. The current price
is $959. plus $26 for quick shipping. All the units I got work very well
and I believe the price is good.
