Regardless of the actual COST, I'd think the focus is more of "what does BUG do for US?"... Apparently, not too much. Basically, the benefits are: - Other BUG members will know you exist. - We [BUG] have a once-a-year bash to get everyone the chance to see who else is a BUG. - WLUG gives BUG $50. Another poster (forgot the name... sorry.) suggested that the $50 would be better spent paying for an advert in the paper. i'm inclined to agree (although i might lean towards something like the Globe or something like that, not just a college paper). if the matter is still under discussion, i vote "no". -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity.
