Other Computer Related Resources
These next 3 sources of information are invaluable, and I highly
recommend you join them.
Orchid Guide Digest - an email list which comes daily
in digest form. A venue to talk about orchids with people from all walks of life. An
extremely knowledgeable source, and immediate too! To subscribe send the command:
subscribe orchids-digest in the body of the message to majordomo@orchidguide.com.
Orchid Discussion Online - send an email to: subscribe@vengers.com and put 'subscribe' in the
subject header. Run unselfishly by Rod Venger. The idea is the same as Orchid Guide
digest. It also has a search engine, so you can look up past topics. This group is a
little more user friendly. It discourages flame wars and is non commercial.
