But the standard tithe is 1/40 of one's net worth, once a year. The same writer also objects to the Bible for teaching that > "woman was created after man, to be his helpe...

Can anyone share their experiences, good or bad, with a Tempe vendor named Motherboard Warehouse? I'm considering purchasing one of their 486dx2/66 boards. One of the selling points is their 10 day full money back guarantee. Thanks in advance, Dave masten@beta.lanl.gov
