Support the PICList

The PICList mailing list is hosted by MIT and we GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGE the huge bandwidth and server load they sholder for us. If you want this list to continue, please consider contributing to MIT... Every little bit helps them educate the worlds finest minds and justify the expense of running the PICList mailing list.

If you have gotten good use out of the PIClist over the years, I'd like to encourage you to show your support by saying thank you or by sending a few dollars to people who have made the list what it is and who do so without any financial reward. At the very least, please click on their names and post a message of thanks on their home pages at piclist.com (using the form at the bottom of each page). If you are willing to "put your money where your mouth is", you can click on the following links to complete a quick, easy, and secure payment by credit card or bank transfer. This money (less the small paypal processing fee) will be paid into the persons paypal.com account if they have one or into James Newton's account and transferred to the intended individual on a regular basis. If you have other people you would like to nominate for this list, please let us know.

• Contribute to the site:
  James Newton of Massmind.org (for hosting the www.piclist.com website and editing and organization of the PIC FAQ) Or, if you like, select from my Amazon.com Wishlist

  Monthly: Because the cost of hosting the site is a month to month ongoing cost, there is also an option to donate a small amount ($5) every month automatically. You can stop the subscription at any time and you can subscribe more than once to donate more.

  $5/month.
   
   
• Jory Bell (for starting the list)
• Wouter (for JAL, WISP, and WLoader)
• Dmitry Kiryashov (for some really good code especially in bit manipulation, and for himself contributing $100 for the second hard drive of three needed for a RAID drive array.)
• Nikolai Golovchenko (for the Code Generators, Converter and some really good code. Nik has contributed $470 towards a new server.)
   
• Fr. Thomas McGahee (for his definitive RS232 text and a lifetime of helping people learn). Father Tom's technical school is being closed and he will be re-assigned. He is trying to get enough money together to buy a computer of his own so that he can continue to do some technical work and continue to participate in the PICList. (Thanks to William Bross for donating a Dell CPi laptop with 366 Mhz P2, 6 GB HDD, 128 MB RAM, 15" screen, 56Kb PCI modem, PCI network card, CDRom, floppy and PS to Fr. Tom, and to James Newton, Evan Short, and Russell McMahon for donating cash)
  Update: Fr Tom has made the move to a new location and is getting setup to do development again! He could sure use your help, but he can not open a bank account and so can not accept PayPal. I have changed the payee on this button to me and if you send a donation, I will mail him a check or you can PayPal: tom_mcgahee @ mcgahees.com
  Update: It is with sadness that we must report the passing of the good father.
