Over break, if nobody's beat me to it, late in March, I'll talk to my former employer about how one goes about getting a credit card thingus. I could envision a private company doing its part by acting as a fund-collecting proxy for FreeBSD ... CC registration can go to say, a loyal ISP who cuts a check every month to FreeBSD. And yes, it's a lot easier even for me in America to do credit card. Impulse purchase where i write a few numbers down, as opposed to going to an ATM to see if I have any money, digging up a security envelope and finding the stamp/address, etc ... I'd even be willing to "subscribe" $50/year or something. :) -- //Dan -=- This message brought to you by djhoward@uiuc.edu -=- \\/yori -=- Information - http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/djhoward/ -=- aiokomete -=- Our Honored Symbol deserves an Honorable Retirement To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
