For example could you call a non-profit organisation a business ? - it trades, makes money, spends money, pays wages, etc, but at the end of the day, or the financial year, its bank account may not have changed much. And it probably grew during the year too. Would you consider donations as "propping up", like an injection of funds into a commercial venture, as without them the organisation would fail or fail to grow ? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
