Hey guys,
I feel the same as Dan. I'm nout counting us out yet. I also have time to
meet tomorrow after class. And any other time the group would like to get
together. My afternoons are entirely flexible.
I think this script is a great step in the right direction. In fact, I was
just going to sit down tonight and do something similar, but now we have a
base to add to.
