+1.

Or, make that +$20 for a new connectivity tool. Right now I'm using
Newtscape to get stuff from my local web server over ethernet, but that's
turning out not to be as useful as I thought - I'd love to do a USB
connection to my XP and Vista and Linux and Mac OS X boxes.

 Oooh I like this idea.. Very similar to what is happening with the Wine
Project for Linux. Count me in. I'd contribute for continued development
onan RSS Reader. The Newton makes such an excellent ebook/enews reader in my
opinion..

How about a bounty of sorts for software that is highly desired? Maybe a
"pledge drive" for different applications that would reward someone
financially for development above and beyond shareware fees...

I'd pledge $20 toward getting really good GUI-based package install and
sync on Linux (specifically Ubuntu).
