Let me know how you want it shipped. I figure USPS Priority is the cheapest.
I'm not sure, but S&H may be a little more than the min. $3 since the drive
weighs more than the max. weight class for the $3 Priority fee. It shouldn't
be over $4 I'd imagine if it's over $3.
    Let me know.

interested you can check my BBS out by dialing 246-1142 (if that line is busy
try 246-9666).  You can write email to me on my BBS or at
valenshek@writeme.com.  You can write to me here but I will reply quicker if
you write to me on my BBS or over the Internet.  Thanks!
