For the record, The Digital Tradition's income has never exceeded $4000 in any year, and that was in a year in which we reeived a $3500 grant for a new computer. In terms of other income, if we reach $200 in any given year, we're amazed and delighted.

T-Shirts and patches, while they may have provided some income to Mudcat, are a net loss to DigiTrad: I lay out the money for them, and hope to get most of it back. Contributions are something else, though I doubt if we've received $100 in toto since 1988.

It's damned hard to make money when you give stuff away.
