Dave, I'm sending the money out tonight.  (Wednesday night)  Meaning you
should get it Friday or Saturday.  I wouldn't think it would take any longer
considering you're just down the highway from me in Cincy!  Thanks again!
You told me to inform you of anything else I needed.  Here goes.  I could use
a motherboard that will accept either a 386 OR 486 chip and I also need a CD
Rom drive.  Doesn't have to be a fancy, fast one.  A simple 2x would be fine.
 Lemme know what ya got, and thanks again!
