Popped in with my $20 as well. This has been a great resource for me across nearly a dozen Thinkpads, and many years of great user collaboration. Thanks Bill!

this is what i see with the donate button at the top of the forum (which btw only shows up on desktop, it is invisible on my iOS browsers, unsure about android).

When i tried the email address from the actual paypal i got the recipient is unable to receive message.

@TPfanatic:
Try another browser?
Also, PayPal requires Javascript, maybe that's switched off in your browser?

thanks..
i DO see that donation if paypal, thank you..
i would like to change the text under that donate button but i am scared to mess with the code and crash the whole place..
maybe figure out how to send any donations to the guy who runs the server.. will think on this idea..
