Send me some money . . . and the little midget gets a happy meal

Feel free to send me a message at riscx@mac.com

If you've got a PayPal account, you can use it to give me some money. The more money I get, the more mods I'll make for you. Which explains those cheesy ads.

It's pretty easy to sign up for a PayPal account (if you don't have one already) and transfer some of your filthy dinero to me. You can go to a donation page by simply clicking this button:

Or, if you've already got an account, you can just Send Money to riscx@mac.com, using the "Service" option in the "Type" drop-down box.

If you haven't got a PayPal account, it's simple to sign up, secure, free, and dog gone it, nifty. PayPal has been proven to greatly enhance the ease with which you can purchase useless crap on eBay. And umpteen other Web dealers accept PayPal payments, too.

How much do I want from you? Anything'll do. I suggest a mere one US dollar, but if you were one of the first investors in Apple Computer and haven't sold your shares yet, be my guest and give me a bit more. You could be the first!

In return for your money, you, personally, will get nothing much. If you mention that you gave me some money in an e-mail in which you ask me, how did you hook up that 40,000 watt LED to your option key, I may be more prone to send you a helpful reply. But I'm guaranteeing nothing.

A sudden tidal wave of PayPal cash, though, will certainly encourage me to spend more time moding helpless Macs and other defenseless puters and less time watching reruns of the twilight light zone. Hmmm, I wonder how a new PowerMac G5 would look with a laser tied to its head?

Why am I doing this, besides good 'ol greed?

Well, I reckon there must be some people out there who actually want to send me some money, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller  . . .

You see, I get about one e-mail message a day from someone who just wants to tell me how great I am, how much they love my mods, and how they're so tired of working as a Rear Admiral by day and as a pole dancer at the nudie bar by night, and just wants to find a nice boy and settle down before they turn 47.

Umm, . . . Anyhow, if that's the kind of e-mail you were thinking of sending me, and if you've got a spare dollar, pound, Deutschemark, peso or other currency of unit value roughly approximating that of a can of soda:

Send Money to
riscx@mac.com

Ohh, I almost forgot, The little midget really enjoys Happy Meals and says thanks for helping his nourishment addiction ;-)

The little Print:
It's free to send money via PayPal. If you donate lets say $5 US, exactly $5 US is what PayPal will take out of your account.

They take fees out of the money before it's deposited to the receiving account, though. PayPal charge 30 US cents for any payment below $15 US (exceptions are made for very small sums), and charge 30 cents plus 2.2 per cent of the sum for anything above $15 US.

But there's no reason for you to care about that. You need pay nothing more than the amount of your donation, whatever it is. Which is likely to be a small price to pay to have the chance to just give me money as if I were some kind of common panhandler on a street corner holding up a sign which reads "Will Mod For Money."
