I can't believe I just did that!! haha Anyway, I just heard from John. This is what he said so far: >>>>The difference is: Group Rate: You (or someone) has to collect everyone's money and come up with the total amount that's due by the time the scanning gets done. So it requires a lot of time and effort on your part. Wait-List: Each person signs up on their own and commits their credit card information, which we don't use until we have the total number of people needed. So you don't have to organize efforts or collect money, but this method will probably be slower. Everyone who contributes $20 is entitled to a CD, but if some don't want it, we won't force them to take one. <grin> The rate will be the same, however, whether or not each contributor wants a CD or not.<<<<< When I asked about contributing under a group name like "Walton Co. Gen-Kids", he said: >>>>Sure that would be fine. We have several counties where the contributor is listed as something like "The Howard County Discussion List"<<< This is the URL, if you want to "study" this further. http://www.skpub.com/genie/censuscd/prices.html Please let me know what you think! I'm still heading in the direction of transcriptions AND images online! Remember your opinion counts!! Love ya, Momma Walton <><
