Well, Matt, you've shamed me into doing something that I've been meaning to do - make a donation to Newtontalk. Yes, you're right that I'm one of the lurkers. Although I don't feel like I'm a spider sitting in my web waiting for the unwitty Newtontalkers to offer me tidbits since I believe that I've only shared in the largess 4 times. That would be NewtSync, Hiroshi's Wireless driver, Ed's Lord of the Rings and the recent emate fiesta. I made my payments for the first two and bought the book as Ed requested but the emate story was really too good. I was one of the fortunate ones that got the memory upgrade, a battery that holds a charge and the original stylus! Yippee! So, I have been thinking that a donation was in order.

I'm sorry that I don't have time to do a useful act like create an e-book or learn to program so that I can do some incredible fixes. Would it help to know that I just plain enjoy reading Newtontalk? I'm constantly surprised at how similar the members are to my friends. There's the poutine, the scotch, and the music discussions that match the interests of several of my friends. My goal is to go to a NUG meeting one day and meet some of you.
