I'll tell you what. If folks agree, I can add a SKU to my store for a "FreeBSD broken build" item. Cost $5.00, no tax or shipping. You can use a credit card (AmEx, Visa, MC) or send me a check. (I'll absorb the credit card overhead, hell, 2% of $5.00 is only ten cents.) I'll stick it back and when I have accumulated a reasonable amount (say, at least $50) I'll send a check to Jordan. Or if he'll give me a billing address, I could probably just do an EFT straight into the FreeBSD Project's account every time I received one of these. So, does this make sense? Or is it a dumb idea? For that matter, the FreeBSD Mall site could do the same thing. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
