<br>> Chris<br><br>The problem with Upcoming was that they kept on de-activating account<br>and changing things without any warning. This kept breaking the script<br>that updated the home page automatically.<br><br><a href="http://meetup.com">
meetup.com</a> has a problem in that they want a fee to set up an account<br>($12/month fair enough, hosting/bandwidth costs money) but they don't<br>tell you this until you try to set it up!<br><br><br>- --<br>Ron Wellsted
