I agree...it's about integrity. All of us who have
been on this list for any period of time, knows that
PCBMan has donated his skills for several
causes...free and clear with no strings attached. I
can remember two occations where he GAVE AWAY his
SER-001 boards to needy causes, (and it's a safe bet
to say that there were more instances of his
generosity, but I just wasn't paying attention...) and
one only has to visit the donations page at:
http://www.newtontalk.net/donations/
to see that his integrity is more than just words.
It's in his deeds as well. I have dealt with PCBMan on
several occations and can say that this is an
individual who has earned the respect and thanks of
the Newton community...
Now, take the above information and apply it to anyone
else and see how they stack up. Then ask yourself
this, who would you buy a used car from?....uh, I mean
a Newton add-on from?
