| Hey there everybody! I started a Cave Prize Club on my site as a membership drive / fundraiser. I have found my first prize for the introductory drawing, and I am thinking of buying some shirts from Nate for future drawings, but I need more prizes. If you have things which might be really cool prizes, like accurate scale Batmobile models for sale, toys, games, autographed items, etc., please let me know. I might be interested in purchasing them from you. Thanks alot for you help!

| I'm tempted to join just for the PS2 prize but for 3 bucks a month, I don't see your site offering any info that aren't already available for free in the form of a website or user forums elsewhere.

I know. The newsletter is just a ruze. I am hoping the modest Batman prizes I offer every 2 weeks will entice some people to drop $3 per month to be a supporting member of the site. I have started putting more money than I ever intended into this site, which started out only for my own purposes. I either have to raise a little money, or cut all downloading (which, for the people who don't download, won't really matter). I would like to eventually host all the indie movies, etc. Instead of just asking for donations to keep the site alive, I wanted to offer some returns on peoples' "donations". So people can join, or not. Lol. I might lose more money on prizes than I make for the site!! Oh well, I would join if I were just a fan. Pretty good odds on that PS2 right now!!!!
Tim - What are you selling your shirts for? They might go good with Nate's N8Mobile shirts I'm probably gonna buy next month.

How do you plan to choose the random winner?

| I programmed the software myself. Each time someone joins, the confirmation e-mail I get from paypal is extracted from MS Outlook and placed in an Access database file and assigned a seperate, sequential Primary Key. I then use a True Random Number Generator algorithm, since the built in VB RNG is not TRUELY random, and it selects a number cooresponding to a Primary Key. Whichever confirmation letter matches the random number, wins.

I was only kidding about the shirts... But, I may still offer merchandise on my site just for fun.

Well when you do, let me know!!!
PS - I looked up vacuum infusion technology - WOW! Great choice if you ever go that route! I even added PDF download link explaining the process in 12 pages of detail on the 1989 BATMOBILE page of my site.
