I'm number 132 on the subscription drive....though I have absolutely no idea what benefit it will ever be to me considering my 'position', but the $20 US will buy a portion of the new harddrive that we'll all be interfacing with, so that's about it.
It's not simply a matter of whether it's of practical USE, but whether it's of practical ASSISTANCE......just like donating to the RSPCA or its equivalent elsewhere.
Doesn't buy me an abused dog....but it helps those who help the abused dog...
A67....it's not a race, you know....as long as the subs come in that's all that matters....
That's the way to do it...
My brother in law is a bike nut....and he needed a part for his '70 Commando...and it was only available in a shop in England [naturally]....and he didn't have a credit card....so along came me to the rescue.
They didn't have an online payment method so I had to 'fax' them the details.
No drama...just dialled the number....and waited.....then a voice answers...'Hello"......
Oops, I think.....as I'd assumed it was a work fax line.....but lo, it was also their phone line...and they lived above the shop.....
Frantic apologies for calling them at 3 in the morning....but they were fine....said they get it all the time from International customers.....
Anyway, Platon got his fluted timing cover so all was well...
