ABOUT THE DOMAIN NAME:
Well. with the yahoo/groups voting thing. It can either be vote for one, orvote for as many as you want. I got the the list to 11 names, by cutting out anything with more than 3 votes. so I think just a "vote for one" poll would be fine. Any last thoughts on this before I setup the final vote? I think I will just set up a time limit on this poll (one week maybe?) so as tonot extend it out any further than needed.

I went through the list of 11 and seen what was available. They were all either taken or completely open. So when I do the poll, I will put a note at the end of each choice saying if it was taken or not. that way when we votewe can decide if it is worth complicating the name or not. If anyone doesn't like this idea, let me know immediately so we can work it out before I open the poll. BTW, I ignored the .ws and .tv domains in this, because they piss me off for some reason, and I don't think people pay as much attentionto them.

ABOUT THE HARDWARE:
while trying to setup the technical specifications page on the site, I am getting a bit confused as to what we have exactly. Partly due to the fact that I don't understabd much of it on a technical level. Could someone(s) email me directly and help me with this? I would rather not put something out on the site that might not be accurate. I think the list blocks out email addys so my email address is ljdarten_at_hotmail.com . If you use the list on the web site (as apposed to through email) you can click reply to this message and the to: field will have a pull down list, one of them being me.

LJDarten.
