 Sorry dude, didn't mean to make you cry.  I didn't accuse you of anything
either, just asked a few questions and made a few comments.  Tell me I can't
do that here.

There's something fishy about the whole thing.  If you're a ucd student, you
should be smart enough to know that a ide drive doesn't cost $439.

If you feel the need to sue me for anything, you let me know here, and i'll
leave my name and address for you with Mrs. Edwards.  I'm not going to make
the mistake of leaving my email address out here for spammers.
