I don't think that meetup.com charges fees. You know, I'm about 3 weeks from finishing, I think, an 80 page outline for my AI scheme. The content is complete and editing at this point. I guess I'd rather wait a few weeks until I have it completed and I could give you guys and whoever else a copy. King County libraries will loan out conference rooms for free too. I'm more philosophy oriented than math, but I can follow the equations, if necessary. Mike
