AZ Software Developers - A new group forming...

I don't mind the use of .net or .org at all.

I haven't done anything with the .com name yet, but I do use the domain name
for email and a <antiflame>W2Kdomain</antiflame>. I have plans for it in the
future, but I'm a developer too and you know how that affects time and
personal projects. (Oddly enough, part of the plans included putting
together an organization of Arizona developers.... hmmm). We should probably
take the discussion off line and come up with something.
