I felt ~$64 was more than fair for the SER-001 when I
bought mine. You put a lot of work in and should be
rewarded for it. In a sense you are being a
philanthropist just by developing it. A lot of people
(including me) are glad you are doing so.
As far as the donations go, obviously I didn't mention
names for that reason. Who knows, maybe they just
forgot to send it in? It wasn't going to me so the
guys that run NTLK are the ones that missed out. As
you pointed out, in my deal there was no requirement
to do so. If you had a similar donation deal with the
SER-001, wouldn't you wonder just a little if no
donations were sent in?
Just to clarify, PCBMan was NOT one of the people that
failed to send in the donation in case it sounded that
way. :)
