Hi Everyone,
It's now been 3 months since I was last able to update the site and about 2.5 months since my PC completely packed in.
After my last email I had a few replies saying I should ask users to donate a small amount as lots of small amounts adds up to something larger. At the time I decided not to go down that route as I thought I would be back up and running within a couple of weeks - however, things like bills, insurance excesses and other surprises that life likes to throw at us have somewhat hindered our bank account... So, here is what I was thinking, there are 1,180 people on the mailing list and I can probably safely assume that 1,000 are actually active email addresses. If just over a third (381) of you were so kind as to donate only 75p via PayPal then after fees (22.55p [3.4% + 20p]) it would total £199.83 - which is pretty much what I need to get the PC back up and running (motherboard has died but the PC was fairly old so also needs new processor/cooler, new memory, new case... about the only thing I can transfer is the hard-drive, dvd-writer and monitor!). If there was any excess I would give this to a charity - more than likely Cancer Research UK (of course proof of this would be posted on the site etc).
Forgive me if you see this as begging or scrounging but to be honest this is the only way that I will be able to get the database updated anytime soon as I just cannot warrant the cost of the repair/rebuild - the google adverts don't generate that much (other than just about covering some domain / hosting costs) and the $ to £ conversion doesn't help either!
Thanks for your time, and feel free to hurl insults for dropping this low!
MaFt
