Agreed. I happen to love ActiveSky and really appreciate the responses from Damien in his forum.

Agreed but if you look closely at the 'new' threads at many other sites. the majority are asking the same question, in different ways. "has anyone tried the new Nvidia drivers?" followed by 17 responses stating that " I still use 2972", etc. That is not to say they don't have more traffic than we do, of course they do, they've been at it longer. We're trying to grow,which is the whole point of this thread<g>.

Not at all! I have a great deal of respect for the help you've given myself and others, not only here but at the old CIS when you took on the task of the FrameRate survey. If I had a choice of having Ray Proudfoot send in his money and not contribute or having not paying and continue to help others - I'd go for the latter

In total agreement - but then again, that's the point of a membership drive, isn't it?

Y'know - I haven't the foggiest <g>. Altho I help with the programming, I'm just a member voicing an opinion - Ben is the ruler of the $$ - I'm sure he will pop in here and clarify.
My best to you,
