We are awaiting finalization of our paperwork. I think this question is leading to an obvious one. Would CLUG be able to issue your employer with a tax receipt? No, not at this time. We are shooting for this though... I think CLUG would love to snag one of these boxes. I'm not sure what Jeff is currently using as our server but I'm sure this Compaq beats the snot out of it. We leave it up to you. > I'm thinking that it's probably time that CLUG gets a dedicated box and > storage hosted somewhere as we're growing in numbers and whatnot. Agreed on all counts. However, the logistics of doing so are problematic. One of the things the current Executive will be looking at is this very issue. Stay tuned. Thanks for the heads-up Chris. - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPnAUaQCQFPa+bt49AQKICgP/WZPqkBX+/WAV4Ywe5PuUhqO+CtmfVjMW io6ZdgF3qcEnY3C0ExQrgxa6TV5p9EfDORATUO8FD0znHJddRjv4HZzSvJeX5VtM l/oYUoct2qrOHq64FUHB3aKCxh0uMiLDfolgGWGJVRk27ZomPX/cewhvc46eL03I 1MBHjIeojzk= =2agM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
