Your concern for our community's web presence is apparent and commendable. No, Neokraft does not maintain these pages. The presentation is a collaborative effort by AVCNet volunteers and, as you have noticed, changing conditions have resulted in many holes recently. Because of these inadequacies, AVCNet members including myself, engaged in a working session two nights ago. Link checking and editing efforts are in progress this week. Soon, we hope to have our web page content linked, dynamically through our search engine, to the changing landscape of local information. When this is accomplished, the links will be able to be maintained with less manual effort and AVCNet's pages will be a real asset to the community. AVCNet maintains these services solely through income provided by membership fees and volunteer gifts and services. The future of AVCNet is dependent entirely on local support. Perhaps you would be interested in joining us. We are (obviously) in need of the talents and efforts of those interested in actively fostering community through technology. I can send you a brochure or you can pick one up from Bates' Information Services or the Lewiston Public Library. Or at least join our distributed e-mail discussion by filling out the form at http://www.avcnet.org/avcnetlist.shtml .
