	To those of you that replied - I really, really appreciate the
offers.  HOWEVER - after tying to figure out how to get them from you
and looking aboot a bit on various MAME sites I came across the "ROM
Burning Ring" and was able to find a relatively close source (NY) for
ROMs burned to DVD.  Seven DVDs for $17 - I should have all the bins
(and console games) I need :)

	If you're a MAME fan be sure to check out KnoppiXMAME - if you
boot it with "knoppix addroms" and have some local disk with a /roms
directory it will automagically re-create the KnoppiXMAME ISO and
include all your ROMs (in either CD or DVD "size").  Boot pretty much
any PC to an Arcade machine!

	I you've a box that you want to build into an arcade machine
with minimal hassle be sure to take a look at OMNICADE - it formats the
system and installs the required front-end pieces, and is available for
both 15Hz (TV-style) and 30Hz (PC-style) displays.  One caveat - it runs
"ArcadeOS" (read: DOS) so may be less than optimal.

PS - I did find my old ROM lump - I had given it a stupid name.
