I'm not in "dire" need. I was just exploring options. I certainly could purchase one, though Lynn David Newton has kindly offered to give me one that he was going to discard. There is no critical rush on this, but I am just eager to begin downloading packages to get the new (used) computer I just acquired all set up until I get Lynn's hub. Thanks again to all you excellent PLUG friends. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
