RE:  Bill Chapman's idea for a parts exchange web page

Setting up a web page for selling and trading player piano parts is a
great idea which could benefit many buyers and sellers.  I am
investigating the possibility of setting up a home page here.

The members of this mailing list are all very fortunate to have access
to Internet and to receive its benefits.  However, I have long believed
that the majority of player piano repairmen, restorers, and hobbyists
do not have Internet access, nor do they own a computer or intend to
buy one.  I also belive that, in all likelihood, these same people are
have the parts everyone is looking for.

I am interested in finding a way to connect these people without
Internet to this information network.  Snail mail and telephone appear
to be the only options.  Does anyone have other suggestions?

RE:  disc vs. disk.  Maybe it's because I live in an agricultural
state, but I define disc as a piece of farm equipment you tow behind a
tractor.  A disk is something used with a computer.  Discing helps
prepare the soil for planting.  I've never lived on a farm myself (I
take that back--I once rented an apartment located on a farm, but
wasn't involved in farm operations).  I checked with several sources
around here and they all said disc was the proper spelling for this
equipment.
