while they can, when you and everyone else moves on, they can be the half

build PC's although It's cheaper to go out and pay for one. yeehamall.com
I wouldn't take it personally. A big thanks is in order but You shouldn't
be hurt for people selling the same thing. What is he suppose to do. Sit

He certainly doesn't offer the service that you offer (you offer many other
upgrades)
You certainly have the corner and I'm glad you still offer the same

Good luck on your future plans.
BTW I just signed up for the upgrade. =) Hoe that shows my sign of thanks!
