[Groop]An Even BIGGER Groo-brain than we thought!!!

[Gary Grossmann]

Oops!  (See Kevin's message below)  I guess I didn't read the fine print.
Well, unfortunately, I already "upgraded" to the "premier" account before I
got Kevin's message and a couple others.  You'd think a guy who has to
untangle all sorts of esoteric tax issues could figure out something as
simple as Paypal.  (Hmm, maybe it's BECAUSE I untangle all sorts of esoteric
tax issues.  My brain is fried cheese.)

So anywho, paypal folks, send the money through paypal and we'll see what
happens.  I'm sure it will al work out. I am hopeless.  Read what Kevin
wrote and proceed accordingly.  Always a good plan!   I guess I'm a little
too distracted with non-Groo things to do much more than count magnet orders
and keep track of who's paid.

Which reminds me....

MAD-Andy & Gabe, your cash arrived safely.  And I've now received payment,
including 6 Paypals & one Bidpay, from 15 of 47 people.  Pretty darn quick
folks!  Hopefully, there will be a lot more in the mail tomorrow.

take care -Gary G.
