Re: Thanks for donations


Yeah, I keep asking (on this list) if anyone needs me to buy them anything or transfer money to their accounts, and I encourage them to setup their own donations account (which would get a link on the donations page). So far, no takers :(

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 ?

Alan.
