Chester: What is the "this" you are talking about?  Yes, I have heard of
zipping up files.  Zipping up files requires spending time doing the zipping...
and for what?  This is a free service that caters to about 1/17th of the
membership of this club.  Besides, when you refer to "zipping up" you are
referring to MS-DOS based computers, not Mac, or Model 100/102/200/WP-2 or NEC
PC8201A computer users.  What are you asking me to do, cater to the DOS-based
users over everyone else?  And am I suppost to do this for free?
 
I have an open mind that tends to get real cloudy when I just forked out
another $3,500 paying Club 100 bills (i.e., advertising, phones, merchant
account charges, etc., etc.) for the month of May.  I'll provide any service if
that service will... at the very least... pay for itself.
 
I'm not mad.  I'm just REALLY tired this Friday evening.  Just like you, I work
during the day--managing the club--but then I go off in the evenings from 6 pm
to 11 pm and teach at a local college (2 to 3 evenings a week for the last 10
years) just to make a living.  And, right now, instead of spending some time
with my wife, I'm working on my club stuff that I didn't get finished today.
 
Actually, your e-mail to me has me fired up, now.  You've given me more energy.
Thank you! (grin)  You know, it felt real good to dump like ... no offence
intended.  So, I'm open.  What do you have in mind.  Perhaps you're onto
something here with you "zipping" question.  Give me some feedback... what sort
of services would you like to see from our end?  Also, is there anything you're
thinking of buying from the club to help the cause?  Anything you want to
discuss?  Any questions?  So what do folsk do for entertainment in El Paso
these days? (grin)  -Rick-
