Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Martin!
Yes, it is.  When you install it you can create a "boot recovery disk"
that you can boot from in the event of a hard disk
disaster.  This is the main reason I originally bought the software,
however I've been lucky enough not to need this feature yet! :-)
It is version 2.0.  I'm not aware of any newer versions, but you could
try http://www.cheyenne.com to see.
It supports just about any type of backup medium, including floppy, zip,
jaz, syquest, optical, qic, travan, dat, etc.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try to answer 'em
:-)

  since then, and I haven't heard anything from you about whether you've
  recieved that money order or have shipped out that 286 or anything, I
  am starting to wonder. Should I have that Postal M.O. traced to see if
  you've gotten it or if its been cashed or ?
  Please let me know whether you've recieved this or not ASAP so I know
  what to do from this end, so to speak. I'll wait a few more days to
  give you a chance to reply before doing anything, as for all I know
  you may never have even gotten that money order at this point.
  Please reply ASAP and we'll go from there.
