Dan, I was thinking about this whole contribution thing this morning, and it occured to me that I didn't even ask for any contributions, OZ did (and I appreciate that). Everything was already relatively paid up, so this extra money was a bit of a windfall, which is why I gave it to two guys who deserve it for their efforts (and out of pocket expenses) but didn't expect it. Of all people on KRnet, you are one of the pillars. You're always there to answer questions and try to help whenever possible. It wouldn't be the same place without you (and the same goes for most of the other contributors). And you've gone a LONG way toward taking the load off me when it comes to providing websites for other people's projects. That means a lot to me, because my time is worth a whole lot more to me than money, because I have so little of it. So if other folks want to do something for KRnet, follow Dan's lead (and Mark Jones as well) and provide web space, a "how-to", or a list of something or some other helpful KR info (like Don Reid's KR articles, John Bouyea's archive site, Rick Maddy's search engine, etc). What you do for other KRnetters is worth a lot more than a ten or twenty dollar contribution could ever do, and I sure do appreciate it. You definitely don't OWE KRnet anything. It's the other way around... Mark Langford, Huntsville, AL N56ML "at" hiwaay.net see KR2S project at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford
