@Lee: Oh Lee, you have just given me the "icing on the cake" for today......I have been on a hunt for a new laptop this week, since mine won't run a new photo program I got....not enough memory, etc....Right before I just saw your comment, I completed a transaction that is on a laptop that retails for $1,049, and with the sale price offered at a store in Atlanta, and with the sale of my current laptop...it's gonna cost me about $250....which is just fantastic....and then I come to am3, and have received a standing O-----what more could one ask for today????? Thanks so much!!!!
