I'd like to see a hybrid of our plans. That is, we could contribute a
one time share to get the hard drive. This is no problem. Then, if apple
would connect it to their machine and save us any maintainance fee it would
solve a lot of problems for us. I know their's no such thing as a free lunch,
and expecting most places to give us access gratis is asking a lot. However,
I would hope that apple feels it could help out.
