They're cheap enough for now, although you'd have to slap another 64m
minimum in that stripped down $2500 version to make it livable - preferably
192 to bring it up to 256.

Huh? The 400mhz model comes with 128mb. That's livable. 256 is swimming.

You're right.  Hrmmm - maybe I saw a price list at the computer store on
campus with a misprint or something, or maybe I'm thinking of the low-end iBook.

Ok, out of the box the $2500 (guess we get a whole $100 off for educational
purchases - wheee) model is ok.  I'd still stick another 128 in it, though.

Ught, sim games - can't stand them.  Rachael's a big fan of some
rollercoaster game - tycoon or something.  She even said its better than the

any one thing are too limited for that whole "build it and watch it run"
genre.  I lean more towards the kill 'em and blow things up side.
