Hello Kim et all,

As some of you may already have suspected, I don't write ddrescue for 
the money. But it really helps if donations cover at least the expenses 
in hardware. I am not rich, you know? :-)

My apologies for answering too quickly yesterday without verifying all 
the donations I have received for ddrescue. I have just today received a 
donation of 100 USD (thanks Andrew), so I have spent an hour verifying 
my Paypal transactions from 12 Aug 2004 (registration date of ddrescue 
in Savannah) and I have discovered 2 1/2 donations more. Maybe it won't 
take so long to save up for retirement. :-)

12 dic 2006      14,24 EUR ((30 - 1.52) / 2 ) for ddrescue and ocrad
11 mar 2009      47,75 USD (50 - 2.25)
26 jul 2009       9,26 EUR (10 - 0.74)
25 sep 2009       9,26 EUR (10 - 0.74)
29 sep 2010     100,00 USD (100 - 0 )

(Number in parentheses show the amount donated minus the Paypal fee).

Thank you very much to all the people who have donated. :-)

Thanks. If you don't have access to an easy donation method don't worry. 
I hope there is enough people with such access willing to help with the 
development of ddrescue.


Best regards,
Antonio.
