PS-I should have mentioned that donations are also
considered tax writeoffs by the IRS so print and save
your reciepts if you do this..

Hi everyone

This is way OT but I thought that I'd post this info
here. I tend to run and hide when people come ringing
asking for donations but what happened in Southeast
Asia is beyond words. I feel a lot of sorrow for the
thousands who are dead or homeless. If you share any
of these feelings, you can always make a Red Cross
donation at www.redcross.org to assist in some sort of
aid effort. Remember to select "International fund" if
you do this. I donated today and felt that others may
feel inclined to do so as well if they knew how easy
it is.

The minimum donation is $5 and yes, they accept credit
and VISA/MC debit cards. After spending a ton of cash
on my SHO in the past few weeks as well as people's
Christmas presents I felt that I could donate a few
dollars to something a bit more worthwhile.

FWIW-

TechSHO is a bit slow and although it's taboo, I am
considering posting this over there as well..good
idea? Let me know ..Feel free to crosspost this to
other lists if you feel that it's appropriate.

Thanks
Ian Fisher
