Let’s see: I remembered to tip the paper boy for great newspaper delivery service, tipped my mechanic for taking good care of my vehicle, FORGOT to tip Nigel for maintaining the Synthzone!

I can still remember the day, 1-2 months back, that my heart dropped in my stomach when I didn’t see the Synthzone where it usually is! That was the day I learned to appreciate what people like Nigel do for us in keeping these groups active on the Web. Humbly, though I promised to mail him a donation....I forgot! I didn’t get around to it until this morning...only 1-2 months late!

If anyone else also “forgot,” I just thought I’d post this as a catalyst if you’re similarly inclined.

That is how I felt and a few of us did contribute. I think another reminder for the rest is in order.

Thanks for the reminder. It's important to remember that an effort like this not only takes time but a significant amount of out-of- pocket expense.

We often tell Nigel how much we appreciate him. Let's remember to SHOW him, too!

I didn't realise it was a money issue, I assumed it was a Server problem.

My apologies for not thinking.

It was a server problem and lack of money had nothing to do with it. The point is that there are ongoing expenses associated with maintaining servers, and those expenses can catapult when you repair or replace them. It should be noted that Nigel has never solicited donations. It is a matter of fair play and appreciation.

Bernie

Thanks, Bernie...I should have been more articulate.

Hi Russ
