assistant: Peter,
 I hate to bring this up, but I haven't recieved the 386 DTK's
yet.I sent the postal money order as requested.
 I'm sure there is a reason you have not responded to my internet E-mail
attempts to contact you.
  Make good on your previous agreements, then I'll cosider making an
  offer.
Chris Edwards
P.S.
How's your reputation?
