I'll get my payment sent out before the night is over. Only rig running right now is my Athlon-XP rig while I work on resolving some security issues with my network. I may be trying to catch myself though, but I am pretty sure I was not at home when this thing popped up..

Happens to some more than others

I always hate when I find out I was the problem. I switched from using a rig as a router to a linksys gigabyte router and missed on the config..

Sure could have been worse! ":O}

This hardware stuff...I have no memory for it! Here's what I hate most. Patti uses my oldest box, hand me down style. When something goes wrong...I have to start learning the tech all over, as if I'd never seen the box I built two or three years ago before... that's what I hate....":O}

Many thanks CC! between us we have the next one half paid for! ":O}

Give us your money! We will give someone you never met a laptop!

Someone you never met really needs this laptop...They want to say hello!

How we doing on this? Any other supporters so far?

Gizmo · #52 (**permalink**) 26th December, 2007, 11:56 PM

So far, you and Daniel are it. I'm going to kick in some money, but it will have to be after the 10th.

Let me know how much we are shy after the 10th. 07 was decent to me so I can cover it. 08 may not be as good with my Dad being pretty much retired and me getting ready to go in for surgery on my right hand in February. 21 years of turning wrenches and a few years of pursuing an MMA career has taken it's toll.. Might be time to teach others how to be mechanics..

Very good of you Cliff! Thank you.

As promised, here is the monthly update of the account status:

AOA's OLPC account currently has $90 in it.

We have not yet purchased any machines.

I'd like to contribute to this worthy cause. Please post what is needed to reach the goal of one machine, if we have enough for almost one already, how much do we need for two? I don't want a machine for me, just for a kid somewhere. I'll send Dan ~ or Gizmo a check, I don't like Paypal.

It's great that one member of that Negroponte family is up to some good!
