... It seemd to me that everyone is in favour of giving a CD to new/renewing
members BUT we really need to sit down and do the maths first ... BUT all 
offers of CDR equipment are greatly appreiated (sp?).

I'd say we can come up with a reasonable list of choices ... How 'bout as we
pay our dues we nominate a CD we'd like if PLUG can afford it .... once we
have some money and some idea of what we are up for then we can decide about
CD's ???

Yours Tony.
