Time for MIDRANGE.COM mail server hardware upgrade

For any of you who might not be on the main Midrange List,  I am
reposting the below.

David has never himself asked for money from any of us.  But, he needs
hardware.  So, if you feel midrange.com lists are worth it, please send
him whatever you think is appropriate.  

You can go to http://www.midrange.com/info_contributions.htm

And Get a mailing address or a link to pay via PayPal (what I used to
send my contribution).
