Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] several items concerning the archives.

At what point does the "list" outgrow Yahoo, and mature into it's own format ?
(better than Yahoo I would hope)

2000 members, "contributing" towards a real "Net" home seems possible.

The math ? A dot-com address and a year of hosting only $99 (readyhosting.com)
2000 members contribute $1 each = $2000
2000 members contribute $5 each= $10,000 !!!

Thats the easy part. Now to find the right NG canned software and more
importantly those with the "smarts" and "desire" to pull it all off.

It'd be a shame to lose easy access to the "archives" because of Yahoodle-doodle
limitations.

Otherwise, I'd be inclined to donate space on my site if it could work
out..............
