I have no alternatives in mind -- but it's something I think the group
should work out before you come down with a fever, go on vacation, want
to watch Laura Ingalls Wilder bale hay... or after 15 months of
meetings, you decide, "uh, folks, I just honestly don't want to come to
the meeting tonight, it's just Tim talking, and I'd rather pass."

And if we discuss and say, "gee...we can find a meeting room...but no
projector...hmm... do we 'need' a projector? Well, unless Nick is
presenting and we can huddle around his gigangtic Powerbook
screen...yep, we need a projector. Sooo...how much is a projector? Oh,
about $800. Hmm...we have no budget, so, "Hey Bill, could you donate
$800 so we can buy a projector?" <grin>

Lol -- I'm starting to understand why the Tucson Computer Society folks
might have been "silly" about wanting all folks who attend meetings to
pay dues (even if they do give a preso). I believe TCS rents a building,
owns a projector, has furniture, and presumably incurs other expenses
too. 


Cheers,
-Timo
