| Rantburg will likely be moving to a slower, more unreliable server in the next week or so, probably the same one that hosts Thugburg. I just got my hosting bill. The bandwidth jump during the war will be putting me in the poorhouse. Paypal button's up top, on the right. I'll be out robbing a liquor store if anybody needs me. |

| #14 Fred, come to Canada, www.eol.ca based in Toronto has transfers of 100,000MB for $300CAD and 0.39CAD for each additional 100MB. Keep in mind these are Canadian dollars. I'm not sure about the storage though. I'll contribute shortly, but since $1CAD = $0.000000001US it won't be worth much. |

| #11 Re the formatting, it looks okay in IE and Opera, but Netscape ignores the width setting and runs it into a single unbroken line. I'm going to reset it to a proportional width again and just hope tomorrow comes soon... |

| #9 Happy to contribute to the cause; I'll whack Paypal tonight from home. Where else can I be so snarky to such an understanding bunch? My wife certainly doesn't let me get away with any of this around the house. |

| #8 What are your storage requirements? Verio has unlimited bandwidth with 400MB space for $149/mo. There are others like Future Quest that have 450MB storage and 20GB bandwidth for $55/mo, if you expect traffic to subside with the war wrapping up. I'm not affiliated with either company, but just perusing hosts to get an idea what's the norm. |

| #6 Fred, how much bandwidth did this take up? |

| #5 Pretty good - I'm at 800X600 and it looks like it's set one reso higher. I'll pony up some cash as well, and this time it won't have Sammy's mug on it |

| #4 I've reset the width on comments to a fixed width, which'll make it look awful on anything but the screen resolution I'm using. Did that fix the problem? |

| #3 Thanks for the donation - it's much appreciated! I'd fix the page-width thing if I could make my browser do it. Mine (IE6) looks normal, and my Opera and Netscape browsers are on my home box. I fixed the input box on the Guest Poster form to take up to 254 characters, though, so we shouldn't have that kind of problem with URLs again. |

| #1 Fred -- I sent you some money. Great service you've provided for us. (Now if you could only fix the diplay width issue...) |
