Hey
I don't usually say much on the mailing list, but if I could make just 1
suggestion, offer CD's, posters and BSDWare VIA Paypal payments.
I know myself, I dumped my credit cards because, well, I like to spend, But
I have replaced that with my paypal usage and would use paypal to purchase
BSD stuff for sure..
I love BSD, I sell the idea of openBSD to everyone I talk to and have
recently sat in a business meeting and during this, I have worked on
convincing a company that has ISA server running to replace that junk with
OpenBSD PF/ISAKMPD because it blows the doors off of ISA in performance and
rebuild time and is much more flexable in tools available and well, its not,
ISA :)
I get my company to buy the a CD set every 6 months, I'm a little behind on
3.9 (I never purchase right away) so I will get that hashed out First of
next week and get it ordered up..
If you do offer paypal for the stuff above, I will buy more frequently as to
do my part to help support the System I trust with my systems/network
security.
I will send a donation now as well as I can do that VIA paypal (won't be
large, but it will be a donation)
Anyhow, Just wanted to mention that. It might go on deaf ears, but I'm just
trying to offer a suggestion that would possibly get more orders with little
work on setting it up.
NOTE: If someone already suggested this, and it got slammed down or
something, I'm sorry, I have read as much of the postings I can so I might
have missed some.

I did not mean to step on another sacred cow - I really only wanted to
suggest redirecting this thread toward workable solutions.
The problem is that many of the "workable solutions" people are
suggesting are completely ridiculous.
They are in the catagory of "Cater to me, the entire world is just
like me" when we know is not true.
Now please, you are keeping many of us from the source code.
