I still find AOL security stops PayPal sending me the confirmatory e-mail so I can use it to donate. I'll go through UK agents as usual.

you can also set up the pay pal account to be on your credit card..
it does not have to come out of a bank account.

thanx everyone for adding your 2 cents, or dollars or euros, etc to
this good cause!

Five, including Celtaddict who donated yesterday, thereby winning my Eagles songbook. Thanks, everyone. Five more generous souls and I'll make another donation myself.

Sounds to me like a real success but there is always the chance that few mmore bucks from a few more folks might add in some other goodie!

Well I registered on PayPal but can't do anything for 3 to 5 days. At which time paypal will have withdrawn a small amount then I'm to verify it. Anyway, it will be done.

If you click the Mudcat logo on the home page it will take you to a Pay Pal link.

Ignore the man. keep sending money. it's christmas season and maybe he'll treat himself to a new toy he doesn't actually *NEED* in order to keep Mudcat up and running. or bring back mudcat radio.

I've already gotten $400 via paypal. That'll just about do it. My thoughts are that 1TB is sufficient, and I need it to have a Firewire 400/800 connection to the server. Everything else is too slow. I am seeing some with USB, Firewire and Firewire 800 which would be great for all kinds of uses.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and thanks Repaire for the idea.

Depending on where you choose to purchase the equipment, you can sometimes get a generous discount by simply linking to the site through an academic institution. It may be that my computer has a cookie that lets me though, but you might want to try this link (http://www.uta.edu/oit/computerstore/cpu_systems.html to see if it lets you through for a discount.

I'll have to check the finances at the end of the month before committing to this one. I put a new roof on the house three weeks ago. That left my pocketbook in a real twist. :-/

You have to have a personal PayPal account to send via them. They verify that your bank account is real...basically by making a 5 cent deposit and withdrawal. Then, when you do a PayPal payment, they take the money directly from your account - essentially like using a debit card. Start here - but I'm not sure about people in Oz and other outlandish such places.

Well, I just sent $25. by PayPal. Fergie sent a bit over that in Euro so at least $50 at Mudcat Central now.   Rap and Charley are in for a hundred each, but ya' know if only 12 of us went for 25 each we'd be there........Or let's give it a few days and then Rap and Charlie can make up whatever. I betcha' we can get more than we need and have a bonus left over for the Spiegel kid to use for something else!

How fancy are we thinking? This shouldn't be too hard or take too big a bite from any one person if this set is a good example. Storage is a lot cheaper than it was just a year ago. Are there better ones? (I have 2 smaller Iomega external drives..) I'll go in for $10-15. I'll watch this and see what the verdict is.
