Don,
Thanks for the additional information. Since I sometimes need local
hands-on help from the computer store, I believe I'll take the
information you gave me before along with this and see if they can come
up with something comparable--price-wise and component-wise before I go
to Wal-Mart. If I were more knowledgeable, I'd go to Wal-Mart in a flash.
Thanks again.
Beverly
