• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Let's Help An Old friend In Need !

I know..... I live in the green heart of Italy. Most things are great here, except the roads, internet and banks. :banghead:
 
UPDATE !!!

$ 1000 !!!!

THANK YOU, ALMOST THERE

Since the US$ is now close to the EURO, there is not much to go anymore..... THANK YOU everybody who has helped me, I appreciate it to no end, believe me!

I am now discussing with both the current ISP and two satellite providers to see what is the best way forward, both financially and technically. It still isn't like snap your fingers and there's a dish on the roof..... !! But we'll get there.

Meanwhile, Simon is getting ready for his summer season, which means no development for awhile. He's finished his Waco and sent it to me for further development. And he'll also send me a freeware 'extra' that will be available for all who buy the Waco !

AND..... in my new shop... there's a 25% discount for 65+ MEMBERS on ALL products in it.... and hopefully we'll have ALL products back in a few months thanks to your help !!

Warmest regards,
Francois
 
That's great news...

It's sorta hard to believe in this day and age a Country can seem so far behind , but I guess in remote regions this happens.
 
Francois, does that mean that you reached your goal?

I've been away on a long vacation trip and could not or did not want to make financial transactions over unsafe networks. I'm back now and would contribute something, if this is still possible or needed!

Cheers,
Mark
 
Hi Roger..... still possible. I am some $250 short of the intended goal..... (exchange rates and Paypal fees)... but I'll manage I think. Now discussing with various companies to try and get things sorted.....

Saw you had some great travels and enjoyed your photos :)
 
Crowd funding. What a great idea Francois. Would we have to register as a charity to comply with EU law I wonder?
