To anyone who has made a donation: thanks!
I was able to get a new 120 GB 7200 RPM hard drive for my Linux computer
this weekend, which was a nice upgrade from my constantly full 20 GB
5400 RPM drive. I have now setup a cross compiling environment again
since I finally have the room to do so.
An interesting note about the drive: The drive is a $150 Maxtor 100 GB
with "20 GB free" for 120 GB total... plus I got a $50 mail-in rebate,
bringing the total price down to $100. Their actual 120 GB drive was
$150 (no rebate) but had an 8 MB cache instead of a 2 MB cache. I
figured that the cache would be nice, but it wasn't worth a 50% price
increase.
Anywho, thanks again for the donations.
Just a question Harold, have you offered any donations to Kensuke or
to Alexander for their work ?
Hasn't Harold suggested that people could contribute links for their own
donations? I don't think it makes sense for someone to be attempting to
dole out money. What would the criteria be? Better to let the users
decide.
I understand your point, but who in the user community would know who
to donate too if there are multiple paypal accounts. Unless you read
CHANGELOG's the user community wouldn't know who to donate to.
Alan.
