Re: [NTLK] Q and A Re: (Practically) Free newt-compatible ethernet card

I'm a bit late getting into this thread, but I thought I would clarify a couple of things regarding
Tom's most generous offer and the following questions.

First of all, I'd like to thank Tom for organizing this.

Yes, I am currently running both NewtonTalk and the Newted Community. So donations through the Newted
Community site will end us helping the NewtonTalk mailing list - if needed.

Currently, I am not incurring any hosting cost for NewtonTalk, as that is provided generously through
continuity.cx by folks like Bill Shamam and Charlie 'Yeled' Allom. There will be expensed when the
domain name needs to renewed down the road and so on.

However, The Newted Community site is hosted out of my basement on a business DSL line, along with 40
or so other sites. There are bandwidth, connection and hardware maintenance costs associated with
this site. Any donations received are applied directly against my raw hosting costs and not into my
pocket.

Once I get up to speed on the rest of this list-dad stuff, I plan on updating the NewtonTalk site to
include a proper means of donating - should another feel the whim.

I'm pleased to say that hosting and maintenance of UNNA is not in flux. UNNA has been graciously
taken over my the very capable Morgan Aldridge. Changes and improvement are indeed afoot over at
UNNA. A few details of the 'takeover' can be found on Morgan's site:

As you were. (And thanks for all the donations so far.)
