That's $100 once.  And last I looked, there are well over 1800 subscribers on
this list alone.  On the astronomically small chance everyone one of them did
what I'm doing, it would cover more than 6 months of development time ;-)  This
strikes me as like supporting public radio.  The individuals do some, and the
corporations do a bunch.

I'm just putting my money toward a great product, rather than complaining that
it's not done.  Just like Joshua is doing.  You cannot hire a competent
programmer for $24k a year, so he is putting up some money on this also.

There have been a couple of other bytes from small businesses, so who knows!

You game?

Cheers,
Rob
