We will soon be upgrading the Piano World web server to a new quad-core (Sun) machine with 8GB of ram.
Our monthly costs will be going up, but we should see better performance, and this one should last a while.
Consequently I may have to ask the membership to help us out a bit, either by purchasing something from our online store, becoming a "subscribing" member, or through outright donations.
