Much more than the hosting I am willing to provide. I had plans on hosting the two clubs, with the normal moderators in place, and then having people volunteer 1 yr at a time to help maintain the site in the background. I purchased my server in hopes of re-selling webspace, but it didn't pan out as you can get web hosting _very_ cheap, and I would never recover costs. I do however plan on keeping the server and upgrading it when needed as I like the pact I have webspace for any venture I deem plausible. I also don't mind giving space to people to use. I have always offered such things to people and some have taken me up on it. I looked at my hosting ability as my way of giving back to the community as a whole for the last 5 yrs or questions, interesting posts to read, and most of all the people here. I don't have a program to offer people here, and I really can't understand most of the technical jargon used here, but I like to read it in hopes one day it will click. I hope someone takes you up on your offer, as it seems to be a _very_ stable one. Much more than mine was. (being the support included.) Peter
