I think it is Donation Time again, don't you think so? PureBasic is a oustanding product and the Team needs a couple of Carlsberg Sort Gold to keep the wheels going... :D

I've just donated $10... not much, but they can buy a couple of beers... :lol:

Think we can also donate ASM sourcecode too? There are some killer image manipulation, compression, and other routines that are completely open source in ASM that would be nice to have native support for.

Ive run across tons of different routines in MASM and FASM, and i don't have the experience to implement them, unless i create a static LIB which doesnt always work for me.

Good idea!

I had about $13 USD in my PayPal account, Fred has it now....

Bottoms up guys! :mrgreen:

(Tipperton wonders what the re-action would be if somebody posted a similar message on the PowerBASIC forums....)

You would have to pay a $5 fee to donate to PowerBasic, then another $5 to verify the payment :lol:

Plus the $6.95 electronic delivery fee for your receipt....

It's the thought that counts, not the amount.... :)

I'll get a refund of taxes soon.
When I have the money, I will donate 10 Euro's to PureBasic.

Hope it helps a bit. 8)

Oh, it's that time of the year again.. Already?! My, a year goes by so quickly these days, seems like only last week PB4 was released..

Well, I'm not one to break with tradition, so I've just donated another $100 for the future of PureBasic! Worth every cent 100 times over!!!

Come on people! Surely PB is worth a few bucks every year!?! Even if you can only afford say $2 it will make a difference!

And I dare anyone to outdonate me :twisted:

All I had was US $1.08 in my PayPal account, but it's Fred's now too. :)

You know, Freak does a hell of a lot of work too... he even implemented
my Procedure background color idea, which I love. @Freak: Do you have
a PayPal account? I'd like to donate to you, too.

Nice! Every single dollar counts! If 1000 users donated just $1 each, that would still be $1000 for the team! And I bet it's not the money that counts for Fred or the team, but the whole concept that we, the users, appreciate them enough to pay a little when we don't really have to! Bet not a lot of people wake up in the morning wanting to donate money to Microsoft :twisted:

Hmm, now there's an idea. But I assumed, and still do, that Freak is so much part of team that he gets his share of fees and donations.. Don't you Freak?
