Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I've been in a TCL/TK class all week
and was out of the office.  I asked Steve Rainwater (another DPRG member
who's very active) to try to talk with tech service since I have been
tied up for a few weeks now.  He said your tech service thinks the Deutch
Dongle version may not be working properly.  He said your tech service
might send us the undongle version.

I've considered subscribing myself.  I know a few in the group have already
gotten the charter issue.  I'm trying to haggle our money supply with the
wife, ya know.  

Anyway, I really don't have any text that would be good for articles 
right now, although they're welcome to grab anything out of
our humble newsletters.  One thing we might could write about is our
Robotic Wheelchair project.  It'll be our group robot project after or
robotics contest we will have in May.  Maybe a report on our contest
might be nice for them.  I'll take pics and maybe write up something for
them on it.

Do you know if they have an email address?
