News from Jeff Groves, Boylan.Heights.org Web Master: “I negotiated with the web hosting provider, tera-byte.com, that we use for the BoylanHeights.org web site and we now have 50% more disk space and 50% more bandwidth per month to use at the same price as last year. I've implemented virus scanning

on all email that goes through the neighborhood listservs. This means that the likelihood that a virus/trojan email will be distributed over the

listservs has been very much reduced.“
