resp:36 explains my twisted reasoning. I wanted to make the announced
pledges an even dollar amount, and 17 is a good number, don't you
think? :) (It's about all I can afford right now.)
regarding resp:35 ... no, PayPal charges Grex 2.9% + $0.30 ... so I
figure that my PayPal transfer will need to be $18.84 in order to give
Grex $17.99.

I figure Mickey is just factoring the exchange rate into his
contribution.

Does Paypal take much of a cut? I haven't paid attention to the
costs, but have made two payments to Grex via Paypal recently. I
could have sent checks instead I suppose.

Mickey stated Paypal's current cut correctly in #37 - $.30 + 2.9%. So they
take $2.04 out of a $60 donation, or $3.20 out of a $100 donation.

(Michael here) What kind of machine are you looking for? I might be able
to find you a used Sparc 20 system from the University, if that would do.
From your budget, however, I assume you're looking at a new Sun server or
Intel box to run Linux or BSD on. Am I correct?

There is a lot of discussion about machines in the garage conference. We're
looking at OpenBSD on a new x86-compatible AMD machine.

Right, there is an ongoing discussion of what to buy in coop item 176, which
is linked from the garage conference.

I (or SCS) will donate a Sony 52x IDE CD-ROM drive and Sony 1.44 Floppy Drive.
(Both brand new and not yet touched by human hands on this continent.)

The scientific name of the carp is Cyprinus carpio. You can learn more
