                 Mike,
                      Mr. Pascutto has a point ...does he not?

                      " Nobody says you must buy a 250. You could get a lower
                        one for a singificantly lower price and still have
                        them easily outperform the Pentiums."

                       I don't prefess to know much about computers
                       so I am not contesting your decision...........Alan
