Hmmm at That price, and giving away some old monitor in the closet - I can send friends and acquaintances {shudder /\\ mixed-feelings} actually to Wal-Mart! though my personal boycott will have to remain. Hmmm - 80 watt PS maybe? Forget that fancy DVD-burner - but ya need a Real modem too - die Winmodem-toy! (yeah I know - there be Lx drivers for certain of those). Alas.. M$/WalMart - two pees in a pod. :( Ashton Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle..
