	We can accept credit cards.  I'd be willing to collect money,
as long as I'm not responsible for purchasing the drive, or talking to
whomever to get it setup (I don't know who to talk to).

	We get charged 5% (outrageous) on CCs, so it would be $21.00
for those who paid by credit card.

	The question is do we have 70 people?  I'm game...  And I say
we go for the 1.2 gig drive... Apple II users deserve the best, righ?
:)

	I also like the Umich organization...  on a side note...
something to follow perhaps with our new archive... :)
