We've seen a lot of difficulties lately where it's definitely possible that the addition of a staff member could've helped get the servers back up with less of a delay. I have put up $25 in a check that will be mailed tomorrow. If you are willing to match my donation, please post your name here on and list the amount if you wish. Here is a link to the Donation Methods Page If you do not wish or unable to that is absolutely fine-there will be no criticism of non-donors in this Challenge thread. This thread is not meant to spotlight anyone unless they wish to participate. It will be locked Sunday night 8/17 when I go to bed about 10-11pm EST. Thank you for your interest and support to the program. ID: 797957 ·

Oh wait a minute no I didn't, I did it from home. Donated on the 8th (just before you started this thread) using the credit card link. I got my receipt in the mail for last months donation which had a return address on the front of the envelope of Malmo, Sweden. I was most impressed. Cheers, MarkJ BOINC blog ID: 798320 ·
