What (tell me please) are you/they doing with the XE's as they are replaced? I
would love to get sme parts such as a Pentium upgrade board to make it a 45xx/XE
as well as drive rails, hard drives, hard drive mounts, etc and I wouldn't even
mind considering some for purchase if reasonable enough. Sure they are heavy but
in the process of messing with this one I thought what agreat machine for a
local church group that runs 15-20 machines and has limited funds, to be able to
run their homeschool machines with the same software available.

I guess I ought to take this to private email as well....
