| My Linux development box died. I think the boiler went up. If you've got a few bucks left over after kicking in for tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes, please hit the tip jar. Donations have dropped off lately... I've also made some under-the-hood changes to the way posts are handled. When you run into any bugs, let me know. |

| #23 I put a drop in the bucket. I just spend $2300 on an MRI for Cami, so am kind of broke right now. You'll get a Christmas present, though. |

| #22 Also, ditto on Newegg. Just put together a screamer with all parts from them. |

| #19 yeah, could you email me your snail mail address? If I can make you a "payee" on my online banking, I'd donate more often. |

| #14 Sorry to be so antiquated, but do you have a snail mail address? |

| #13 I kicked in a few bucks. If it weren't for Rantburg I'd have to work -- can't have that! -- so I have a vested interest in keeping things up and running. |

| #8 Ditto about Tiger, although sometimes they're at the bleeding edge and inadvertently sell crap. Not their fault, just a bit over-eager. I've always preferred rolling my own from the MOBO up: I got a good deal from Tiger on a dual processor server, but I never felt comfortable using it. |

| #7 Ok, ok, I'll hit a couple of bucks, but how do you expect me to keep up with my expensive internet fetish porn habit AND my diet pills? Damn! Smut doesn't grow on tree, you know, and I've really got to get rid of that gut! |

| #6 Never had any trouble with them buying bare bones. |

| #5 Tiger? I thought their reputation left something to be desired... |

| #4 Done... Thanks Fred! Enjoy your new Toy! |

| #3 It was an antique -- about time for it to give up the ghost. I'm going to buy a bare bones from Tiger and move the drives. Since I'm not real smart with Linux, I use it to bumble my way into getting MySQL and Postgres set up while I'm rewriting old .asp code to .php. By the time the code's rewritten, I hope to be smart enough to implement the 'Burg, Thugburg, and the other sites that live on the same server in Linux (or BSD, if I get even smarter...) |

| #2 Kerching! Ok folks, you know that this site gives great entertainment value! - think the 'Crossfire Gazette', 'Nuggets from the Urdu press' and all our other favourites (as well as allowing some well-needed therapy to take place in a friendly environment). Do the right thing, huh? |
