Dear Ladees and Germs and other Beings Who Use Ux1.cso.uiuc.edu for Fish Disks,
Once again, the Funds for ux1.cso.uiuc.edu Fish Disks are low.  You may
have noticed that Fred has been putting out disks at a prodigious rate, on
the order of 100 or so over the last 6 months.  This means that the last
100-disk subscription lasted only about 1/2 year.

So- if you're willing to continue donating, then I am too!  I'll put up $50
towards getting another 100-disk subscription to the ux1 archive.  As a
matter of fact, if I get enough donations, I say lets get a double
subscription and keep it going through 200 more disks.  Howzabout it?
Normally I suggest $10 and that's worked out just fine, but if you can
afford it, send $20 and we should be able to get $500 dollars from the Net
(I'll put in 100 bucks for the double sub).

(puts on his best Jerry Lewis face...)
If you find this to be a worthy cause, please consider donating $20, user
groups $60, and major banks, corporations, and financial institutions much
more. :-)  But 5 and $10 subscriptions are of course equally appreciated,
and no one will look down on you for not being as monetarily endowed.
Instructions:
 
1. Send your email address with your donation and you will automagically
be put on the Fish disk mailing list.  This means you will get notification
and Contents listings of the disks the very second they're available on
ux1.  If you do NOT want to be on this mailing list, include a short
message to that effect.  Also, if you have already sent me your email
address, you don't need to send it to me again (unless you want
notification upon receipt).

2. I will notify you by email when I receive your donation, if you include
your email address with your donation.  Since I am such a busy bee, wait a
week or two for my reply.  I am a batch processor...

3. Send it to this address:

Michael Schwager (my friends still call me "Mike")
403 S. Coler
Urbana, IL 61801

The sooner your donation arrives, the sooner I can get enough money to send
to Fred for another subscription.  If you recall, last time we got over
$300, $10 was the suggested donation and that worked out quite well.  Feel
free to give more or less as your circumstances dictate.

(puts on his best announcer voice...)
Be advised that Fish disks are also uploaded to grind.isca.uiowa.edu for
free (they don't take donations).  But if you like having ux1 around, plus
the benefits of having two hosts to choose from for access to your favorite
Fish disks, not to mention an email message the very moment the disks are
uploaded, then consider donating to the ux1 archive.  Thanks.  You'll be
glad you did.
-Mike
