RE: [Leica] The Changing LUG

["Daniel Ho" <hod@idirect.com>]

Great idea Michael.  I was just thinking about this, but never went to put
my thoughts in a message.  Thank you!

Let me know if you need help or storage space.  I own a couple of domains
with fast servers on a T3 backbone and am willing to offer a permanent
residence for the FAQ if required.

Thanks again...
