Doug,
I've asked about the next step. I do know that the web design and logo are going to
the board this month. That is all I know.
I did a write-up about what has been going on at SCN lately. You can reach it via
the homepage and I will update it monthly, I suppose.
For all intent and purposes, I have told you all I know. Maybe not the
nitty-gritty, but the information is there. I may have left something out, however
it is more due to me not being complete enough. I try to remember everything, in
this fluid state we live in.
