Re: Buy benh (or other) a minimac Re: Hi question about mac - mini
given that there is a reasonable response
i have been considering just how to arrange this
obviously sub $50 donations would be much appreciated
but $50 was just a reasonable amount that would get the
job done with jsut a few people.
if there are any businesses out there that rely on
linux-ppc, support might be a good write off. think
of it as development costs or something.
the idea is not so much to reward ben not taking away
from him, but as mentioned in my original post, its
more to get a mac-mini in the hands of someone who
has the skills to get it all running.
so from my perspective i pay $50, ben mucks around with
it. then in a few months i buy one and most of the bugs
are ironed out. makes ben a bit of slave labour, but he
gets a free computer.
ideally it would be good if apple's store had some sort
of method of ordering and paying off. although they may
have figt vouchers (which would be the way to go). just
buy the gift voucher and send it to ben.
thoughts?
(ill add up the pledges so far later today - im kind
of running in and out)
