Fund Raiser

I'll keep this short... I assure you, I will not use this forum as a sounding board to try and make money. But I have had several e-mails in the past 2 years from members of this list offering to help out financially for providing this list forum. Thank you again for those who have offered... but it was never my intent to make any money doing this. I ran a small ISP here Maryland, so the resources I used for this list were already in place and available... basically, it didn't cost me anything to do it. Due to certain business relationships, I chose to sell the ISP, and get out of the business... this changed the situation since I no longer had business systems on the net to provide these services. I managed to put together a server to keep everything up and running. As I started hosting web sites and mailing list for other organizations (also for free), I upgraded that server to a nice multi-processor system. I am currently faced with the possibility of needing to upgrade several software licenses in the near future, and have decided to ask all those folks I provide services for, for help. Now... before anybody even thinks it... I don't want anybody to send me any money! Thank you to those who would, but it's really not necessary. I'm asking that those who are interested in helping, view a web site I have with information about programs that will pay you to have a small advertising banner on your screen while you surf the Internet. This is not a get rich quick scheme! But there is the potential to make a reasonable amount of money ($20+ a month), and for anybody who does use this, we would receive an even smaller amount of referral income. Whether there is a significant turnout to this request, I fully intend to continue to offer all services as is. I do this because I want to, I just felt it was worth asking.
I'll not go on anymore... If you are interested in learning more about this, just view this web page: http://www.dcsol.com/net.htm
Now... back to building airplanes! That's what this list is all about.
Thanks for your time, Mike
