the advantage for the website is obvious - though I've been running screaming away from wordpress several times, any cms is an advantage if you have more than one person writing for the lists/groups - well some would probably say that moving away from google is one another would be not having to run your own listserver I can't say I like this change, but I can definetly understand that a cms is needed to keep things alive I've been around since the original 040 list, and I'll miss the email lists, as I find it so much easier to follow discussions this way, as opposed to having tosign in on a website and browse through fora I hope though that other old timers, like myself, will eventually migrate over - it would be so sad if these communities died out just because we'll have to adjust to new ways hope to see you all later in a new way at an old place /tina -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
