[Nfb-krafters-korner] A Whole New Concept!

[Susan Roe]

I like your thinking Greg, but I think one of the reasons the lessons have 
been restricted to the phone is that only paid members can have access to 
the classes.  Now if someone wants/needs a phone class then you could still 
restrict that to paid members.
