My last post to it, was the last post. I'm sorry that people got riled
up, but I felt like I had to say my piece and stick with it. I honestly
and sincerely think Paul could do better for himself as well as everyone
else if he rethinks the price. I may have said he was gouging, but I
was a bit worked up due to all the mild flaming in my direction. I
don't know Paul, and I don't know anything he's done for the community.
What it just seems like to me, is that if Paul's been so valuable to
people as I've been hearing, why haven't more people who could, donated
to him? If the ATA driver isn't all he's done, he quite possibly
deserves something. Hell, I'm sure some of you in the UK may even have
a spare computer kicking around, if that's what he's looking for. The
community should try and support each other in ways other than simply
accepting high prices for things developed by members. There are better
ways to show support than ways that lock out people with less money.
Hell, if I hadn't already given away a K6-450 with 96M in it this year,
and Paul were in the UK, I'd have considered boxing it up and sending it
off, had I any knowledge of what he contributed. (I might be poor and
unemployed, but somehow I manage to collect computer parts and systems)
I'm not going to reply to the last thread anymore, so I'd appreciate if
the flames died down. I spoke my piece, I gave my figures, its up to
Paul and the rest of you to decide what to do with them.
