then, but I would expect that it would be worth only about $1000-1200 today. I did not buy it because it was, well, nickel and "white". :-|

Maybe it doesn't want to work with Safari. If we slow down enough I'll try to pull them up on my shop PC. All I see is the word "image" in brackets but they pop up one at a time like they are images loading on a screen.

I wonder if it's just my iPad...
