Re: iSociety chat

Mark,

We could certainly ask IBM. That is a good idea.

I was not asking for a "customer" specifically, as much as a volunteer..
iSociety is not an IBM organization, so it needs help from those who are
willing to give it. One of the reasons we have the Fireside chat that way is
because of your security concern. This process is the simplest and cheapest
we can muster on a budget of nothing.

Of course, we must recognize that COMMON hosts the server where the chat is
running. Their contribution helps iSociety provide a chat capability.

Does your opinion have legs? Are you volunteering to help?

Trevor
