NetHeads, Just thought I'd drop a line of thanks to the 20 or so people who recently contributed some support money to the KRnet cause. For the most part, those funds came from the same few folks who always manage to scrape something up in support of KRnet. I ended up with about $225. I've sent a check for $125 to Rick Maddy in an effort to give him some incentive to "keep up the good work" maintaining our KRnet archive search engine at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp . If you haven't tried it, you don't know that you're missing the fastest, most comprehensive resource on KR-related material on the web. Rick emailed me yesterday saying that he was in the process of upgrading his equipment, so the site will be more reliable, and the searches will be even faster in the future. And he's planning a revamp of the user interface in the future. He's a Cozy builder, and his site is at http://www.maddyhome.com/cozy/index.jsp . I'd like to thank him for doing this for no other reason than being asked by Larry Capps if he'd create a search engine like the one he runs for the Cozy list.
I'll send the remainder to George Majewski, who provides the diskspace for the actual www.krnet.org website for free, as well as RR's site at www.fly-kr.com . Here's another guy who just volunteered to do it for us, and expects nothing in return, although it costs him every month. I think it's prudent to show them our appreciation every now and then, or at least keep them from having out-of -pocket expenses while supporting aircraft lists that they aren't even members of, so they'll have at least some small reason to keep up the good work! And thanks to Oscar for reminding us that it was time to ante up... Thanks a lot, Mark Langford, Huntsville, AL N56ML at hiwaay.net see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford
