  Exactly. We have nice little crazy Chinks operating out of their
garage, overclocking everthing...

 BL> I thought the warranty was on the *goods*. It is here, anyway.

 GG> Not here. It's gone as soon as it's sold to another owner.

  How strange... US law must be totally different. I like the idea of 
a warranty on the buyer, though. I could use a good warranty.

 GG> Me too. :-) And I just priced a 16mb memory upgrade for her.
 GG> $169. Unbelievable.

  The only catch is that you have to do swapsies... there's no room in
there to add another card. But the way RAM price is falling, the old
RAM is worth nothing anyway...

Regards,
Bob
