Please complete the below survey regarding possible enhancements to our communication devices and network system. I will be working with Aurora to make these upgrades.

I may or may not respond to comments. Thank you.

Edit: Additional features being considered based on feedback that were not in the poll include: (1) ease of use features for those less familiar with technology, (2) Wikipedia or an equivalent, (3) banning specific users from personal posts or communications.

Edit 2: Adding (4) storage and sharing for image, audio and video files, primarily for entertainment or educational purposes and (5) expansion of the library to include digital lending of those materials.

Really? You'd like to meet everyone in person?

All one hundred of us?

[wannasmash]

well not all at once!!!! i can't even speak to that many people online all at once!

[ornithologist]

Thus the utility of online communication, I'd think. It expands our circles even if it doesn't obviate the need for in-person interaction.

[wannasmash]

i'll think about it.
