Hey Elvis whats up my man?   You still rockin' everday? !!  :))    I'm sure you
are ....

I don't have an Athlon 800  <sad face>  I wish I had an Athlon 800 !   That
would be sweet ....

Ok, so I can't afford a NEW computer for Xmas, but just maybe I can get a few
new progs.   In your honest opinion Elvis, if I can get two new progs for the
Holiday, which ones should I get?    I know you're an expert in this scene, so
if "Queenie" only allows me only two ..... which ones should they be?

Thanks in advance for your answer ....  :))
