Dear Rick:

Here is the sort of configuration we are looking for in a home PC.  Our budget is about 
$2500 - $3000.  If what's below is not achievable within this amount, please suggest 
compromises.  I've starred items  that are optional, or where we are prepared to start 
small and grow later.

	Pentium processor, 75 MHz or faster
*	Triton chipset (preferred but not critical)
	256 KB cache
	at least 2 PCI slots + at least 2 ISA slots
*	8 MB RAM (minimum; 12 MB preferred)
	1 parallel port, 2 serial ports, 16550 UART compatible
	15" SVGA monitor, low-radiation, capable of 1024x768x256 colours NI
	1.44 MB 3.5" FDD
*	1 GB (or larger) HDD
	4x IDE CD-ROM
*	2 MB VRAM on video accelerator card (prefer ATI Graphics Xpression PCI with Mach 64
	    chipset)
	Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 with speakers
	14.4 kbps fax/modem
*	MS-DOS 6.22 / Windows 3.11; Windows '95 if possible

We have not specified a printer, since that would only increase the budget pressure.  Please 
feel free to recommend a colour-capable inkjet printer that offers high value for the money, 
for our later consideration.

Thanks for your time and attention, Rick.  I look forward to hearing from you.  In case it's 
not handy, my fax number is (306) 966-6400, and my home phone number is (306) 374-9134.

Best regards,

Dave Steele
