Hi All,

Just a heads up. I am working with Steve on keeping the site alive. I  
have the site already moved to my server. We are just working with the  
registrars to move the domain.
It may take a few weeks as Steve is traveling.  I will ask the  
community to contribute to the site and also I am all ears to making  
additions or changes. I have some neat ideas that I think people will  
enjoy. I have a stack of Objective-C books on the shelf that honestly  
seem so overwhelming when I open them. I am actually back full time in  
school to start some basic Java courses to get my feet wet in  
programming. I have 100 ideas for software on the mac and my brain and  
fingers can't wait to apply these to Xcode. My goal is to be a OSX  
Developer and to contribute to our community.

One other idea, any interest in a ham-mac-developer reflector? A place  
where newbies and veterans can help one another? Perhaps that will be  
one of the additions to the machamradio site.
