And to E100QUITY I apologize for the extreme brevity of my reply, but there is a larger issue of which we all need to be aware. As you know (or perhaps don't) Jeff Wasilko, founder and owner of smoe.org has made available the services of two servers to believers, and to many other artists. He provides services to the fans of these artists, in the form of automated e-mail lists. Unknown artists can ill afford these services, and in part because of Jeff's commitment of resources and his time, as well as many volunteers at smoe, and on the lists. Some of the once unknown performers whose net presence began at smoe are Tori Amos, Paula Cole, and Jewel. Some of the soon to be well known artists currently hosted at smoe are Jane Siberry, Happy Rhodes, and our own dear Susan. Unfortunately, the servers that host these services have become obsolete (some components are more than 7 yrs old, a lifetime in computer hardware terms) and failures are occuring at an alrming frequency, eating up time that Jeff and his merry band of volunteers could use more productively. Yep. major upgrade time. Now, Jeff is talking about spending some megabucks here, and one of the multiple list owners, Mike Connell, thinks that perhaps some of the over 9000 subscribers to the lists (over 50 lists) would be willing to help defray the enormous costs. I certainly agree. You will be receiving mail from Mike , probably today, and I hope you will give it a considerate reading. As a bonus or incentive, there are going to be some give-aways. Jane Paul will be talking to Mike about some things Susan will donate, and most of the other artists will be making contributions as well. So please read the note from Mike, and let's chip in and do our share, at least those who are able.
