ufs/ffs doesn't need defragmentation software in the traditional sense, in
fact it doesn't need it at all.

Holy hell, that better include a trinitron 15 inch monitor, shipping, and
damn nice keyboard.

I wouldn't go through ebay, mainly becaus they're an auction place, and
'sides they do run NT..

I would however check out the local papers, newsgroups or lowendmac.com
for classified ads.

One person with whom I've seem to be having good luck is 

David Baucom http://members.aol.com/davidbauc/macsite.htm

He sells all sorts of Mac stuff at a (IMO) reasonable price. I for
instance got a Q650 (which is faster than the 700 IIRC) 24/80, keyboard,
mouse, and shipping for $117.  Imagine getting two of those, for $250 ;)

'Couse if you're looking for a small footprint, I've got most of an SE
that I'd be willing to sell you for $250 ;)

In my car, on my clutch
But I guess it's just someone who felt a lot like I remember you.
