The count is at 61 tips so far

 

[Dave Miller]

61 responses is very good Sean, but I wonder about the 17,771 that haven’t.

Sent. Wish there was a way to change the amount - $5 doesn't seem nearly enough. Especially with the amount of work that goes into running the site.

Paypal still does not like my Firefox: had to switch to IE again... Grrrrr....

On the whole I think the guys do a very worthwhile and often thankless task so fair play to them. What's 5 USD at today's exchange rate? - About a pint: nothing anyone should miss.

Cheers, Bob.

Bob, re Firefox I assume you have the latest version, 2.0.0.1.? I was having in few glitches until an upgrade and patch last week. Certainly it happily spends my money via Paypal. As to the exchange rate, you write like a man who is not getting paid in $

Nah, still on 1.5 (but with latest patches as of yesterday) - guess I'll have to upgrade at some point but I tend to avoid it as much as possible on the grounds that upgrades are just an opportunity for more things to go wrong (admittedly, that may be a Micro$oft induced reaction to "upgrades")...

A good friend of mine is working in China and is paid in USD into his UK bank account: not a happy bunny until they started increasing his salary to track the exchange rate.

Cheers, Bob.

I'm in. Someone on ebay very kindly sent me some extra money for postage I had underestimated. I've past the good will on...

Ok this year's tip Jar is now closed. Thanks to all who chipped in. We had a total of 68 tips + my pledge, this brings the total to 490US dollars

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

Seems to me that a few more could have contributed.
Maybe open the jar a little earlier this year?
Best wishes
