This sounds like a nice idea, but I have a few thoughts:

1.  We haven't really defined what a GLLUG "member" is, so 
anyone who merely lurks on the list but never attends meetings 
(or even posts on the list) may decide that they are "members" 
and demand the discount.  

2.  If we somehow acquire a "free" unit, we should donate it 
to a reasonable cause/group.  GLLUG itself really doesn't 
need a freebie tape drive, and just giving it to a member 
really isn't fair to the others.

3.  I would hope that there are no strings attached if anyone 
does do this thru GLLUG.  I wouldn't want to see their 
advertising say something like "Endorsed by Lansing's LUG!" 
or something similar.

It's great that they want to do this, I'm just a little 
skeptical about this.  Just checked:  Their web site 
runs NT...  Hmmmm...

Personally, I'm satisfied with my Sony DDS unit, so I'm 
not in the market to throw $400 for another tape drive.  
Perhaps we should find out who on the list is interested 
in this offer.  If so, please speak up on the mailing 
list.
