...that I'd like to follow-up on are as follows:
        I think it would be a great idea to have Peoplenet (or its cousin) 
on-line. It probably would take off like wildfire. Just the idea of being 
forced to use snail mail is what keeps me from pursuing it. As far as I'm 
concerned, snail mail is only good for paying bills.
        Another great idea: to share our experiences with and opinions of 
independent living centers. I ran one service department for 6+ years here 
in Austin's ILC, and the tales I could tell.....also, I think it's high time 
we evaluated the position of ILC's in our society. As was asked earlier, are 
they serving us?  Are we running them? Are we on their boards?  And so on.
        Just so you'll know where I stand, I came away from that job with a 
bitter taste in my mouth.....some of it personal, most of it professional.
