I'm in as well. I think the logistics and legalities could be worked out. I have
space on my Web server I would more than glad to donate for the project. I also
will be building a very large storage building this summer solely for my
computers. There will be plenty of space to park workstations to mainframes. I
live in the Niagara Falls NY area. Two hours to Toronto, Two hours to Syracuse.

of the finances would be tricky. Someone will have to manage
the money, and they will be met with varying amounts of distrust by those
who would donate. Maybe a good thing would be to either form a nonprofit or
get one to assimilate us.
And it would need a cool name. :-)
Thoughts?
Not only keeping track of the finances, but what about actual ownership?
I like the club idea but I can just see someone down the road trying to sue
the club for ownership of a particular piece in the case of a dispute. No
doubt there are a lot of legal aspects that would have to be worked out to
protect everyone involved. Then there's the logistics if the club does have
a single repository for storage of the equipment.
I'd certainly be interested in being part of it though. All of us
together could certainly make a bigger impact than singularly.
