<nudge-nudge-hint-hint> Think this would be possible? I mean, we are a Mac
User Group, and we are promoting Apple. I would rather promote AW6 to our
MUG and not MS, or any of the other 3rd party Vendors (no offense to any
vendors - and I bless all of them!!) It would be wonderful if we could do
this! It would also be nice if there were a nice little discount to MUG
members and/or User Groups, on other Apple SW as well, such as iDVD, QT Pro,
Apple Remote Desktop, Cinema Tools, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio, or even an
Apple Care Agreement discount... These are some fantastic incentives we
could offer to MUG members. Exclusive to MUG's only!!

LCMUG and MacRogues is fortunate to have a wonderful ISP in our community
who loves Mac's and is hosting both domains, LCMUG private discussion list,
my OS X discussion list, and e-mail accounts. How did I manage this? We
promote his ISP .... big time! We have him on our website, any flyer we put
out, our newsletter, and we recommend him to our MUG members. It's a nice
tradeout.
Good luck in your endeavors, Michael.
