<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am busy evaluating
GRASS5 and have so far found it to be very good. We are looking to replace a
commercial product for which support is in our area is non-existant and license
costs are so high for our usage it is not even an option any more
!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>We should know in
about a week if we will be changing permantely or not, but so far it looks like
we will. :)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would be extremely
interested in hosting a mirror site for your software. I can accomodate the
space and have aprox 7Gb of traffic bandwidth currently available
(monthly).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do web hosting for
a few select clients (mainly our own software support), and would be willing to
host a site for a mirror (at no cost to you of course! ).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can you please give
me an indication of disk space and bandwidth requirements.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>The server (the site
would be located in), is located in Dallas, Texas, USA. but we are located in
South Africa, thus we can serve for USA mirror and can aim at the South African
market (our product market).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our main product is
a GIS based agricultural capture & manangement tool, and thus GIS is a very
big part of it, as well as being very involved in GIS work in our local
area.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do also have a
suggestion. Would you not be interested in having a disscusion/support forum on
the web. I have found this to be a very effective tool for support, and a lot of
companies/software/support is trending towards forums rather than news servers
(nntp).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=951202213-09072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would also be
willing to host such a forum/s for you.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
