So who thinks all of this is in rebuttal to the new UTD site? I do............... |

Yeah, it's $125 now! I could buy a box of pencils at Zero-Gravity for that.
As an aside, I've been reading the gavin scooters list - George has quite a few posts where he rips into AG for his "valve fetish", which seems to be exactly what is in Dan's "Valve Failure Identification and Resolution" pamphlet. It's almost, but not quite, as entertaining as techdiver. Which brings me to the Quest list. It seems to be pretty much dead now, which is too bad. |

Well....there is that and there is also the electronic option for those that want to complain about price. I see it as a donation to an organization that is doing a lot of good and building a lot of awareness globally. I have wasted more on people and have gotten nothing out of it that benefits me in the end, so I don't mind showing my support, taking the discount, and feeling good about helping out at the end of the day. I did electronic up until now, and I was thinking of renewing under the silver membership anyways. I am happy to see a benefit section and although I haven't had time to catch up on the reading of it yet this week, I plan on doing that this weekend since I have strict orders to not "lift" anything heavy.

If your so big on donating to the cause, why do you only have an electronic membership? Last edited by Jay Roy; 02-20-2009 at 03:04 PM. |

I have a silver membership (and I've been a member since 2001). I will renew for the reasons you quoted Jen. I just like to complain!

It's still $125... I just got the silver a couple of days ago. Besides donating towards a group that does alot for our community, the benefits are pretty good now. You get access to two sets of course materials, plus discounts in GUE facilities and online store, and more... seriously.. have a look.. It's worth the click!

Wasn't referring to just silver memberships as donating...the electronic does too. Donation is donation...no matter what form.. What you prefer to get out of it is up to the one donating. They offer more benefits...price goes up to continue to offer these added benefits. |
