Also try www.ebay.com. It's an online auction, i've seen several OS 7.01 being bidded
there. I'm not yet a Mac user (3 months untill I leave for school, switching platforms
from win95 to the next iMac), but a friend of mine is giving me her Performa 550 and I
hear that the latest OS one can use is Mac OS 7.6.1. I am currently bidding on this, I was
wondering the ups and downs on this release. Thanks.
