  Still waiting on a routing number of electronic transfer of funds safely.
I requested that information over two months ago now.  Still no answer.
So I must than assume that the account in question for the DNSO GA
is not a safe account by which to make contribution and have therefore
informed our members of such.

  Micro cams for Video conferencing at home are extremely cheap.
ubid.com and Ebay.com have auctions of them frequently.

  It is pretty good.  The problems is no MCU interface, which slows or
disrupts some transmissions to some areas.  Newer versions of Netscape
or IE browsers are prohibited.  And no Quicktime interface support...
