My chief complaint then would be that after looking at instructions for becoming a member, there's no posible way (as Bruce pointed out) to pay other than mailing them a check, you can't pay with a credit card. This is going to be a major blocade for ICCA. I'm sure my reaction won't be all that different than allot of other people's, I'm pretty sure that I'm not mailing them a check, but if they had a way to do this with a credit card, that would be different. And, they don't _really_ need a sophistocated setup to do that, for example, I have a vacuum tube amp kit sitting in back of me now that I ordered by sending the order info and the required credit card info over an email. So they just need someone around that knows how to charge bill the credit card company I guess. Pete
