I did belong to the CFCS many years ago. Anyone who becomes involved
should be aware that the "Powers That Be". the behind the screen folks,
make their living working with the CFCS mass of members.  They used to
make some rather good dollars selling parts, service, and Microsoft
Software.  Microsoft took care of the "in" people more than adequately.

My reason for posting this is that many of you know this but others may
not.
