=======================================================
If you're buying something at Amazon, use this link first. One thing I
discovered was that if you use A9.com before you buy something you will get
a discount of pi/2 % on your purchase. Saved me some on my last purchase
that I wasn't expecting.

BBlog posting first...
(http://www.bbspot.com/Log/?module=Log&function=browse&id=581)
- Thanks to all who donated to the computer fund. I tried to get some
sponsorship from a major parts supplier, but they ignored me. Oh well,
their loss. Now starts the process of choosing and purchasing components.
Next week we'll have the final decision on the hard drive and open up the
discussion on motherboard/CPUs. On a related note, one friend and frequent
contributor to BBspot, sent me a box of band-aids for my birthday in
preparation for the computer assembly :-)
- This week's poll was Favorite Font. Check out the winner
