Perhaps I could drive over if necessary. > Outside of that, I'd shop the usuals > - Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, Computers Plus (if you have one). I guess I should have mentioned that I'm in Nashville. Yes, there are a few of those close by. Geez, I'm almost directly across the street from Micom Computers, I guess I should at least stop by there and see what they have, eh? > Hope I've helped! Definitely, thanks!!
