Some people may think this is commercial but I think it is a good idea.

Very true.. I bet you wont see Ballmer or Mike Dell doing something like this anytime soon
As an alumini of Virginia Tech, I think that is pretty decent of the developers to make a donation. Regardless of the amount, I’m sure the gift will be greatly appreciated.
I wonder if there are any plans to upgrade “Big Mac”.
Peace.
re: oh my
you don’t know what ways either of those guys may donate or help others. something doesn’t have to be publicly promoted to be real or effective.
It’s nice to see some of the Mac Developers stepping up.
Only goes to show you get a better class of people in the Mac community.
Way to go.
“Only goes to show you get a better class of people in the Mac community. “
Given that most Mac owners are loners with social problems, it seems appropriate they would contribute when one of their own goes completely over the edge.
