The first batch of archive cds will be sent out tomorrow (tuesday).

If you don't receive the cd within two weeks and you donated towards PF 3, please contact me.

I really wanted a copy of the PF2 archive. I'll keep it and show my grand kiddies one day! (U know they'd be enthralled!)

Perhaps if I donated enough to also cover postage (which then would make that extra donation, not really a donation...but u know what i mean...)

Would that do?

Amaybe Pauly and I could throw in some money together, and we'll get one CD between us...

Wow GREAT !
So you have raised about 77% of what you need till next year.
So now PF is really far from trouble ... great !

(BTW, the little image on the left in the donation page is not showing, and Monique is written twice on the right).

I was counting on getting this CD. If I donate an extra 10/15 dollars, would it cover the extra expense of postage to the UK?

A few people outside the US have requested a CD. I will try to get an a shipping cost to the UK and Australia today.
 
  • #7
I have the shipping cost for both the UK and AUS.

UK Airmail Letter Post, 2oz = $1.60 + $20 = $21.60min or 13.8074 GBP

AUS Airmail Letter Post, 2oz = $1.70 + $20 = $21.70min or 36.5537 AUD

Thanks Greg. Save me a copy, because I'll definitely be donating when I sort my finances out.

Me too...

Greg, should the cheque or money order be payable to you or to Physics Forums?

Come on people, a little bit each and PF stays around for another year!

As Adam Sandler would say, "YOU CAN DO IT!"

Greetings !

Greg, not that I really mind about the list
but I noticed that I disappeared from it and
the numbers somehow don't add up...:wink:
(Don't get me wrong though - I'm cool with it
either way... )

Live long and prosper.

I'm sorry, but I must have missed something. You see, I would like to get a CD, but I don't know what address to mail a check to.

As many of you I'm sure have noticed we have passed our yearly goal! :smile:

However, this is not the time to slow down donations. We have more years to pay off :frown:

Thanks all!

Cool! We've got all of this year, and we're well on our way to getting next year payed off before it starts (that would be nice).

I'm not sure how many of the members I speek for when I say this, but I certainly wouldn't mind if Greg even ended up turning a little profit from this. After all, he came up with the concept, and did all the hard work to get it running (and still continues to work at making improvements). His creativity and effort have greatly improved my life, and if he ends up with some coffee money in his pocket as a result, I'd be perfectly cool with that.

What say the rest of you?

WOW, i never realized just how much this costs to keep running, thanks a lot for doing this, you are as they say the man.

Not a problem! Keep participating and supporting PF and it will only improve.

If every one of our 1700 members donated just $5, we'd be set for over 6 years! Think about how much PF means to you and how much it's worth to you and show your support!
