I'm in favor of a reward, myself. Ransoms usually seem to set very high. And perhaps we could work out a plan to also keep the gorilla... I have some odd jobs around the house he could possibly be trained to do. I need some painting and some insulation work. If it all worked out we could hire him out to other people who need help, and put a few dollars in our MacGroup coffers! Better than a bake sale! Mike
