Well, you need more memory ASAP, but it should be fun for Nextstep.  I think
you got a good deal, however, it really is only a good deal if you use it.

So, while people told me I got a good deal on my 712, the reality it was a bad
deal for me because in the 6monthes that it has sat unused (for a number of
reasons, including scum sucking, crooked ebay sellers selling bad CDRoms) the
price has fallen for this things by over half.  Oops.  I keep hoping to get it
set up any weekend now that I have the needed CD-ROM and the semester is over.
