Fran both my wife and i feel for you. Our christmas started out great until the wifes pc died and we both thought it was the hard-drive at the time, day later we get told by the tech guy we use it was the motherboard so off to the shop we went to purchase a new motherboard for her. Guess what they had no APG slotted motherboards so how comes the big $$ for a pci board, new ram and cpu for her..there goes our christmas plans in one day...

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
