How about the next time Theo, Marco, or another developer asks for donations/sponsorship everyone does one or more of the following:
1. Donates cash. 2. Writes letters to those who can donate cash. 3. Buys CDs/merch. 4. Gets friends and co-workers to buy CDs/merch. (Non-IT people love my wireframe blowfish shirt). 5. Shuts up. I'll try to apply 5 to myself now. Greg
