my "expertise" is hardware, i will defer any software questions to fatty
pot agna or bluce or one of the many skilled knob twiddlers on the list.
but i can add, when you have decided what you want, look on the net to
find your best price, then go to a shop and make a salesperson drop
their pants to give you a good deal... if you are clever you can get a
better deal. plus you get to see the salesperson squirm. >; }
cheers!
