Just read the message about the performance issues on WinCustomize.

I think that it is necessary to have a available place for the skin community.

Therefor, may I suggest that the skin community supports WinCust by donating an amount of money to WinCust, instead of buying a CD with a lot off skins we already have, never will use etc.

I would freely donate $ 20,-.

Regards,

Kees Mulder

If I could get a mug, t shirt and cap for $25 + $5 shipping, I would buy them. Is that possible?
And would it matter that I live in England?

Of course I only want the shirt if it has China's fonts in it. I mean ON it!! phew!

Alexandrie: Paxx the Quebec don't have enought compagny to offers job to everyones. A lot of compagny in Quebec don't have a lot of money.

Huh? Why do you say that? There is actually a shortage of qualifies tech people in Quebec. I don't know one programmer in Montreal that does not have a job. Half decent programmers are so rare that companies often pay a LOT of money to get them. A friend of mine has only 3 years of experience since he got out of school and just got offered ajob for 65,000$ Amasing. Maybe wheer you live there is not a lot of job because it is a very small town, but in Montreal, don't worry, there is no problem in the technology market.

As for why I think there will be 5000 suite sold? I based it on the site's traffic as reported by Brad: hundreds of thousands of people each month. I don't know what exact amount that is but since "hundreds" is plural, lets call it 200 000. Lets assume 0.5 percent (or 1 person in 200) buys a suite every month, that would mean 1000 suites sold. And as I said, I believe that number wold increase as more suite are available. I read an article that said once that an average of 1 percent of the people register their shareware. If we apply that here, one percent could be interesting: 2000 sold minimum.

Anuway. I don't mean to argue here. It was just an idea. I just wanted to help. Sorry.

Put me down for a Coffee Mug, that I would take in a heartbeat.... Never have to many Coffee Mugs (Unless you ask my Wife ) Anything that would help offset the cost of the bandwidth I'm up for.

Don't be sorry Paxx, I just give my 2 cents like you. I'm trying to participate a little more in the msgboard because I usually stay in the dark and just read. And for the Quebec problems I was talking in general way, not about a specific compagnies and no specific place too. We have a major problem here nobody wants to pay for anything. I know Paxx there is exeptions but they are few.

I don't think we are worse than anybody else for wanting free stuff. We don't have anything more for free than anybody else. Sure, we have some lazy people who take advantage of welfare to live on the state's money, but hose people exist everywhere in the world. Why do you say we want things for free more than anybody else? I don't think it's true.

Anyway, as I said, for sure there are people who want free things, and there are people (like me) who have a limited budget and thus can't afford to buy a lot of stuff. And that is precisely why I was suggesting this because I can't afford to buy a 55$ CAN CD, where I could afford to pay 7.50$ CAN for a suite once in a while.
