Part of my master plan is to re-start the mailing list.  It might take a 
little while because my ISPs don't provide this service, so I'll have to 
install a mailing list system like majordomo or listserv on my server at 
home.  The new Poqet PC Web site is almost up and running.  It should be up 
by the end of next week.

Personally, I hate spam or anything that smells like spam (I get over 400 
spam messages a day becuase of my e-mail address being on my Web site), so 
I would be against something like this.  I'm first on Google if you search 
for "Poqet PC", and the more everybody links to my site, the more likely my 
site will come up in a Google search.
