Im pretty sure they will send you all the bundled software that comes with new macs. When I got my iBook 700mhz in November, it came with the panther upgrade cd's.
Got a tip for us?

Dual 2.0 G5 Refurb
I just got mine Saturday.
I ordered the dual 2.0 G5 package. It arrived with everything I need. I initially paid $2399 (before the price drop last week) and ended up paying $1999 after the drop and a phone call.
It was obviously used, but in very good condition. The kicker is that it came with 1GIG ram (normally 512MB) and a 250GB (normally 120GB) drive unexpectedly. I don't mind getting EXTRA for nothing... sweet.
So I bought an extra GIG before it came and now have 2 GIG total ram. I wonder if I'll use it... I'm gonna try!
So far I'm really impressed with the machine and osx. It's my first mac. OSX really sticks it to XP.

1.0 ghz emac, 256 mg, 60 gig, ae - 700 bucks. throw in some sales tax (6%), free shipping, and you make one happy household 
we got it and it was (is) great - came w/10.2 installed, with installers for 9.2.2 (software restore) and 10.3. iLife 04, worldbook, etc.
couldn't be happier. the only problem w/it at all was the crt was tilted (rotated) about 2 degrees off of straight. i was really worried until i found out that you can take care of that in the preference panes - which was a load off my chest.
but the experience was great - 1 year warranty, not a single problem with it, and it's a nice step from the beige bomber that i had before
oh, and the wife LOVES it!
