Mmm, interesting sig quote! Wish I understood what DA meant. Weird  
thing is, DA is supposed to be one of the first Macintosh users in

PS: reading all the posts on OS-free laptops - if the buyer is  
prepared to take on a used one (and this applies to desktops as well)  
there are several dealers who supply without any software at all.  
Frequently without even any installed OS.
