I agree with the memory comment.  FYI the 929KX/030 has a 81Mhz
PA-8000 (Perf. 3.7) and the original 939KS had a 80Mhz PA-7200 (Perf.
3.6), not much difference.  I don't mind used equipment as long as it
is "Legal" used equipment.  It works the same.  To upgrade the 939 to
a 979 is just $49,000,  sounds like a deal to me.  Get the 939 and
upgrade it.  More computer, less money.
