Would you like to be a pal for gigo.com? Your contribution will go to operating expenses and hardware purchases to keep gigo.com's services alive.

Information for the 2007 upgrade can be found on the 2007 drive information page.

Just to be clear: that your contribution is not tax deductable. We are not a registered This means that you can not write it off. Nor can I escape paying taxes on it. However, your contribution will be greatly appreciated, both by myself as well as all users of the system.

What we do here:

gigo.com has the following roles:

• Mailing list and archives serving for CRPL, the Corvette Restoration and Preservation List.
• Mailing list and archives serving for the Woodworkers List.
• Web site hosting for http://sawdusters.org
• http://archives.gigo.com hosts mailing list archives for the above mailing lists. If you missed it in your inbox, you can read it online instead.
• Personal email accounts for family, friends, and mailing list members of hosted mailing lists who find they are having problems with their own email providers. I provide imap, pop, and webmail access. If you find yourself in need, you can send postmaster@gigo.com mail, and request an email account.
• Spam prevention - mailing lists and users both benefit from efforts to limit how much spam comes in. These efforts use compute resources.
• Chat servers - IRC and Jabber (irc.gigo.com; for jabber, any valid email address hosted on gigo.com should work as a jabber/google talk address).

Your contribution will go only to:

• Colocation expenses to host gigo.com. The server is located in a professionally operated data center, with excellent connectivity and uptime. This is something you can't get when you serve your site from your home DSL. This fee is currently $200/month
• Hardware purchases that directly operate GIGO.COM. The current server is reaching end of life (both from a software perspective, and from a hardware perspective given the full time nature of the gear).
  Update: $2000 purchase initiated for new hardware.
• Funds will remain in PayPal, seperate from Jason Fesler's normal funds, until used for goods or services, per above.

How much to send:

Most contributions are $5 to $20. A few have sent as much as $100. How much you should send, is purely up to you - based on what value you get out of these resources, your personal capabilities, and your generousity. I welcome any amount of help. That said, amounts less than $5 sent via PayPal lose a significant portion of their value due to PayPal's fees (2.9% + 30 cents).
