Maybe Vern could just host a file holding site?? This way we could keep the site where it is but continue to add optional photos and songs to an alternative site. I think the more important files should stay here, such as manuals and people to contact and such. We could keep a text file named the web address to verns place in the files section so people would immediatly see where to go for more files. Or maybe in big bold letters we could place it on the front page introducing the group...I don't know, help! -UN.H --- In DTXpress@yahoogroups.com, "liberatusvirus" <liberatusvirus@y...> wrote: > UHH reported a while ago that he couldn't add a file because we'd > almost reached our limit.
