Outsiders

[Avery Todd]

Hi Jory,

   As far as I'm concerned, you are more than welcome on this list. I, too,
will be buying a new computer system for my home in the very near future
and I REALLY appreciate your post and one other, which talked about the
Dell/Gateway integrated/nonintegrated systems. For me, that's probably
information I'd not run across in the normal pursuit of a new system. My
thanks.

mean to be intrusive.

>I'll go away.  Thanks to all for the help.  You're a great bunch of folks!

   I'm cc'ing this post to your private e-mail just in case. I've already
seen several posters who appreciated your input.

Avery
