            The above two sites are, or were, provided at no charge. However, they are both strictly limited on what pages can appear at each site. The execpc.com site, which was not free, had no such restrictions. It contained (2000-2008) all pages that could not be added to the www.FCCoshkosh.org Church Web site.
• FCC pages at ExecPC http://my.execpc.com/~fccosh/ [all links to that site have been removed]
            All pages previously at the execpc.com site have been re-installed at this domain.
