Yahoo Aaron!

But folks, it's not fair to Aaron to be the one monitoring the webcam on 
the day.

Aaron could set up but it would be nice if people there could pitch in 
at times of little activity to just move the camera and maybe tap a few 
words to the chat to keep the rest of the global CoCo community informed.

I know, i know. "They haven't paid and gone to the effort to attend".

Yeah, then send me $1800 for the airfare from Australia and I'll be 
there in an instant!   :)

Hence my suggestion for a paid subscription to attend remotely but this 
is not yet available.

And by the way, I refuse to use Facebook. I have a problem wirth 
Facebook constantly trying to hook me up with people I don't know or 
even care about!
