I didn't even know you could contribute to FreeBSD. I should think this should be one of the main lines on the front of home page. > Would it be possible for W.C., Inc. to provide facilities for FreeBSD, > Inc. to accept donations via credit card?

I think a lot of us are just too busy to think about putting a check in the mail. If it were as simple as filling out a web form page, I think people would be much more inclined to do it. Also, there was mention of non-profit status. I think it would be time and money well spent to make it so that contributions were tax deductible. This would prove to be a major incentive for corporations like us to contribute funds, and more funds. -- I N T E R N E T Terry Lee, Technical Director D E S I G N 611 W. 6th St., Ste. 3201, Los Angeles, CA 90017 G R O U P 213.488.6100 voice 213.488.6101 fax http://www.mall.net mailto:terryl@ienet.com
