That's right .. International users ...

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. :)
