It's a little bit difficult to sign up PayPal as an "International User"
(means non-U.S. user)
In addition to that, they are charging fees for "unnormal"
international use as well  :-(
I decided not to donate money but sent David two IBM 20 GB
harddisks instead to build his new listserver with a mirrored drive.
Should be in the U.S. by friday this week ...
Perhaps somebody else wants to get rid of a good RAID-controller
for PCI/IDE that is supported by Linux ?
I think I did my part ...

Hope this helps !

Greetings from germany, Philipp Rusch

P.S.: Good idea, Martin, I will come back on this one (I mean the
customers paying for the time saved ... not the flowers thing !)
