[SurroundSound] Re: Home For The Hub

I agree with everyone that a fee is not really an issue for me. I am
more than willing to pitch in. I do however like the idea of something
a bit faster for instance the ftp server if set up properly could be
faster. Or there are other ideas out there as well. Some dont have the
bandwidth to accomplish fast downloads on their own but if the files
were somewhere else(ftp etc) the bandwidth would only be limited by
the server speed and bandwidth of THAT connection. I am still paying
for giganews so for me a fee isnt really an issue. I realize that some
are not in that position and I may not be at some point. I will pretty
much agree with whatever is decided.
