assistant: I bought a tower and components for a computer last Sunday and have had
my hands full.  I built it from scratch (components etc).  When I
installed the new hardrive I zipped my mail.  If I have already posted
to you, you have another post. If I have not, you have another one
coming.  I usually try to answer my mail right away.  This week was an
exception.
Post me and let me know if I responded to this post or not.  My struggle
with the computer is over and was a great success.  It took me 4 days
all total to build the computer, install programs and configure the
system.  Not bad for the first time.  :)
TTYL  :)
