Marcos Maniacs

Hi Marshall.
	Sorry... as I said, I have a new computer system and apparently the  
original message (which you didn't get) decided to "go out" or the  
server finally found the message to send to you. Sorry for any  
inconvenience or confusion. The timing on the parts coming in is  
fine... let me know when you are ready for payment.
