 Greetings, Susan, et al.--
 Louisiana, particularly near New Orleans.  I would recommend
 that you try to get a hold of some desiccant silicagel
 'pouches' (if possible) of the sort that used to be found in
 packing materials for radio and stereo components, and place
 several of them in a fairly well-sealed carton with the
 computer.  Then, when you remove the computer from storage,
 open it up and check for corrosion; perhaps even re-seat all
 cards.

So I am gathering from the above information that without certain
precautions, the computer will be damaged if it stays in a storage building
for 3 months or less.  In other words, if I don't get the above material to
put inside the pc, then damage could occur.  I am also understanding that
even with the above material, there is a possibility that damage will still
occur.  If so, not good news........

Thank you,
Susan Hays
