I have a little something to add. I managed the ARC enterprise E-mail system until
about 3 months ago so I have a pretty good idea of how the ARC works.
If you want to give money to ARC to help the cause, do not go through www.redcross.org
or the national organization. First, bureaucracy will lose and misappropriate your
money. Second, 3 of their 4 web servers are currently down - they've had Cisco and MS
in-house assisting them with a new load balancing solution since last night. If at
all possible, give directly to the local volunteer organization (chapter) leading the
relief efforts. There are a lot of great people doing great work for the American Red
Cross. Unfortunately there are a lot of poor business people dragging it down.
I'll try to get some good chapter contact info for anyone that is interested, I'm not
sure who that may be right now but I can get it.
