Eric,
The new site looks great, I think the world view really adds a lot to the
map. The only thing I was thinking of was maybe adding names to the states,
not really for the benefit of those in the US, but for others out side of
the states. I know when you get the European and Asia maps going, I will
need a little help with the countries (math I stayed awake for in school,
geography I caught up on my sleep).
jt
p.s.. I know these maps are finalized yet, but I think DixieLUG is currently
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Maybe Craig can give the official area that
the group covers. I'll give you the NGLTC area when you get around to adding
the LTC map, that part I can give you the official area on.
