[Cialug] Free Web Space?

[Todd Pierce]

Yeah, I'm putting myself at risk a bit.  Fortunately, I'm about 800 miles
from where most of this dangerous stuff is going down.  Unfortunately, the
client has to make a court appearance in that dangerous place *before* he
has money to pay me next.  Having all of the documentation online will
hopefully discourage someone from killing him to prevent those (paper) docs
from being seen in court.

Yes, I'll find a better online home for the docs soon.  And of course, I do
have another client that is paying any of my critical bills at the moment.

We programmers always have a backup.

Thanks again for looking out for me.

-Todd
