Rick:  All of this discussion was aimed at providing better access of bee
related models, databases, etc. to a wider audience.
 
I threw my comments to the net, because the discussion kept sweeping more
and more people into the discussion - my direct e-mail has been busy, but
several themes have come up enought times that it seemed the bee-l group
as a whole might be interested.
 
As to what computers have to do with bees and beekeeping - seems this
list-server is one example.
 
Anyway, my apologies to anyone on the list bored by the topic, but it did
net some folks that want to work on providing a "fix".
 
Anyone wishing to continue the "techno" talk, please route to me directly

Cheers
