[DeTomaso] NPC List Bounces

[L GRAY]

     David et. all...... As you read this the wheels have been set in motion to gather the requisite info to move the forum to the POCA server.
      Myself being a technical idiot when it comes to computers and Internet stuff, don't really understand the lingo but we have several POCA I .T types who do understand and informed me that they are on it and hopefully we will soon have everything migrated to the POCA server(s). 
     Wish I had more of a definitive time frame to give you all but I as stated don't know how long it will take to accomplish the task. As soon as I receive any more info I will post an update. Thanks to all the forum members in advance for their patience during this change over.

Leslie A. Gray
POCA President
