We live in christchurch which is on the east coast of the south-island, not exactly a million k's but you cross the 
arthurs pass and otira pass to get to hokitika! we have two acorns an A3000 and a risc PC600 and am using AntII for the
internet comms side.we have a arm 700 + a 586 100 mhz with 18mb ram incl 2mb vram. we have a scsi card with internal hard
drive and erternal zip drive and flat bed scanner. the acorns are fabulous, very reliable and very easy to use!
it really depends on how much he wants to spend/his age and what he wants to do with it which will decide the model he
gets into. Should be able to get a second hand risc pc 600 for about $2500 with pc card already fitted although it would
probably be just a 486 sxl33mhz! dos games are a waste of time on the acorn pc card but windows programs work great 
especially if you are running windows 95 operating system and compliant software with pc pro!
