Hello mark.

Don't have any, and I'd rather not play with them ...

Right'o ...

Saved ...

Don't have either ...

 ml> we did with that other package you mailed me for my garden last year??

Refresh my memory on what is required to put on the packet, and you are most 
welcome, as I have serious doudt's about ever being able to use it myself.

I am not partial to Compaq or Packard Bell systems, not too mad about HP ones 
either, not that they are by any means "bad" systems, most times, but they 
have a habit of using oddball hardware, which make them almost impossible to 
fix, or very, very expensive to fix ... , so I'd rather not bother ...

BUT ...

If I had the cash, there where a couple of Compaq DL 360 Servers going for a 
reasonable price Dual PIII Xeon's, 1GB RAM, 2x 36GB SCSi HDD's ... , shipping 
would have been expensive, but I would have liked ... <VBG>

So that cookie crumble ... badly ... <GRIN>
