That brings up an interesting question. SHOULD we pursue the idea of organizing into a non-profit? We have certainly grown in size, and the benefits therein may be enough to offset the amount of work it would take. I know absolutely nothing about what would be involved, however, so I cannot comment further on it. I suppose we'd have to create a constitution, etc. I do think you could deduct a "gift" to Real Time. ;-) I'd be up for donating a ten-spot. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Key fingerprint = B4AB D627 9CBD 687E 7A31 1950 0CC7 0B18 206C 5AFD -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
