Murigi, I buy your idea. How many people do post here, we should be able to like contribute a a minimum of 500/- to whatever amount one feels philanthropic about. So if we have the volume and Alvin/Evans become nice, then we can have a server early next year. Its Christmas, guys the cheer of giving out. I will give 1k towards this. And if I get more I will top up later on. @Aki: That's good. Regards; James Muendo Leerick Office & Tech Supplies P.O Box 28016 - 00200 Nairobi,Kenya.

Way to go AKI Will contribute 1K - as am sure 100 of us on this list can and should. 200 - can contribute - 500 bob = 100K 500 can contribute - 200 bob = 100K 300K should also take care of a 1.5Kva APC Smart UPS = about 37K. A Mercer UPS should be more affordable - maybe 30K - not sure. Let's get a spreadsheet done to account for the contributions.
