I understand.  But really, when a friend needs something
to keep his company going vs. when I want something for
a hobby there's just no doubt that the friend getting the
item is more important.

I'm pretty sure one cabinet is an expansion cabinet.

Dave, you don't need to demonstrate anything to me.  I'm not
mad at you, although I was in a bit of a huff at first, but
I got over that real quick.  You are a friend, and I value
friends more than I do things.

Please, everyone, let's drop this and go on to talk about
other things.
