Bill... You have done a fabulous job on the photo web site! I understand the change in circumstances for you and honor the time you have contributed in this endeavor which has clearly helped so many of us.
I too am willing to donate money to try to keep this information available to all. However, I am wondering if there might be another solution as well? Not being much of a technofile (don't even know if that is a word...but you all get the point), I am wondering if the photos might be transferred to the Yahoo Groups that we already have in place for our owners database? I know other Yahoo groups that I belong to have photo file sections, and also data base sections for users to upload technical data, brochure copies...etc. Could this be possible? It would be a shame to lose the information and images that have been gathered, and like Andrei has previously posted, I am sure few of us have the ability nor the time to upload all the photos. However, as I said, I am more than willing to contribute to the funding of a solution. Many thanks, Bill for your tireless and clearly unheralded efforts!

It will take me too long to download the whole site one photo at a time, but if I got the whole archive I might be able to put it up somewhere on my own web site, so that it is not entirely lost.

To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Ron, This past summer I used VS721 on the bottom on our M17. The boat was in a fresh water slip from May - Sept. We live in the Northern part of Idaho and our water temp is typically in the 50's for most of the summer, mid-60's for July and August. In prior years I did not put anything on the bottom for antifouling protection. Overall I was pleased with the results of VS721. I didn't stop bottom growth from happening (I do think it slowed it down) but it certainly made cleaning the bottom much easier as the end of the season. A little bit of VS721 goes a long ways. A 16oz bottle is enough for 4 applications below the water line.

There would be no "what's new", "Donations" "Contact me" or "links" page. With my new project I'll have limited Internet use (E-mail) for the next year or maybe more. This means I wont be able to fix links. In addition; The site photo limit has been reached. In order to continue with more photos I would have to turn all of the Maintenance pages into PDF files. Or, open a sub-site (more money) linked from the current site. Either way, it's not doable. The site would remain pretty much as it is. Other ideas have been put forth. Who knows what will occur in the near future.
