You might consider buying a used MacPlus in the $1100 range. Maybe
you can find an ex-student who will sell you his/hers? You want at
least 1 Meg of memory + more than 1 disk drive. And you'll eventually
want a hard disk (something like 70% of Mac owners have them).
This is probably safer than going with the Magic Sac. Your machine
will run the most Mac Software. You will not have to upgrade your
Magic Sac (how?) when Apple upgrades the ROMS (periodically...)
However, if you're going to be running UNIX mostly, it's probably
hopeless to buy anything less than a Mac II for your home....
