FWIW, I have been here for 1 year and have not had the time to make the trek to Tucson to meet all you fine people (not sure about Tim though ,) and attend the meetings. I live in Corona de Tucson which is just far enough out to make it a trip (I don't work in Tucson either). I would pay dues ($150+/yr), though, if in addition to a overhead projector there were a Breeze of the presentation or even something streamed (FLV, QuickTime, ...). I really have been disappointed to have missed so many worthwhile presentations (and follow-up Q&As). Maybe a couple of JUGs (Tucson, Phoenix...et al) could combine for Breeze or a Breeze-type service and then any number of really valuable resources could be made available and achived. I know that this doesn't resolve the issue of a meeting place but I thought it might be another reason dues could be "justified". Steven
