   Looking hard at the face of it assures me it won't fit.  I'll keep at it until   
   I find one.  I don't think I'll be able to get an OEM unless I want to go   
   backwards (NOT!) and get one with a cassette player.  So, I'll look for a Sony   
   or a Pioneer.

   The last time I went through PayPal, I bought a motherboard from a guy.  It   
   wouldn't work, so I contacted him directly and he sent another just like it.    
   I contacted him again and he refunded my purchase price through PayPal and   
   they cut out a small slice for themselves, which I thought was wrong.  That's   
   why I no longer deal with them.

   As I said, it was a guess.

   Okay.  (-:

   I was too busy hurting to notice and it was a rude awakening from a deep sleep.
