in order to help the AOL users I would like to offer ANY Geek Group Members 
a free email account on our mail server, you can check it with any standard 
mail client (outlook, Eurora, etc). If you're a member and need non-AOL 
email, just let me know at cboden-at-thegeekgroup-dot-org and I can have you an 
account in a day or so.

Because the Geek shall inherit the Earth!

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change 
the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
