    Anyone know of someone that may have upgraded to NT 4.0 and dosen't
    need 3.51 anymore?
    Thanks for your time.

To all,
        I have a model airplane that I am interested in trading for a pemtium
setup.   The plane is a Jaguar 40-46 it has been recovered and flies well....
It has a GMS 47 which has only done about 4hrs since run in...That means
virtually no wear.  I have a 6 channel Hitec Focus radio and it has a charger
some spare covering and Blah Blah.... Most of the stuff you need to start
flying.
        I want a pentium, and preferably sound card, cd rom and good HD at
least 200 meg and at least 8 meg of ram...
        I hope someone is interested..... Please Reply through this system!
        Jonathon Hanks...
        I am prepared to pay for postage of this and maybe the cpu as well..
I will help at least......
                          Thanks
