Use the button on this page to donate:

http://www.pdaxrom.org/index.php?showid=39&menuid=4

This should also work:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=x..._code=USD&tax=0

I added the Donat-o-Meter to the page so everybody can see how we are doing :-)

Great!  At last it works - and I can donate (o:  Do I put "pdaXrom" in the "Payment For:" box?

You might find you get more money generally, now your PayPal link functions!

Ooh even better.  Make it as easy as possible to donate, or people won't!

Umm... now if you click "MORE" on the home page, it confuses the adverts and they all have a "donating" theme!

does pdaXrom really work on the z5500?

No; try OZ+GPE if you want an X11 based system for your 5500.


Simon
thanks Simon
i cant believe they never made one for the 5500
strange.............. very strange
 i have a feeling this will be the very last pda i ever buy
there is just way too many problems and not even close to enuff support

i guess one day i will start to figure out this cacophonous labrynth

Go to the main site and you'll see that the adverts are Z/PDA-related.  Press "MORE>>" on the article about the Donate-O-Meter (yes, I think that's the news item), and the adverts change to this sort of thing:

Thats google adsense for ya.. It scans the most "important" items on the page and makes banners accordingly - the most "important" word on the donation page is donations - so the banners change to the ads related to that. No bug.. :-)

how could you not salute hardwork and give proper respect to the team at pdaXrom.org

from their site:
We believe we're living in a modern open World where only sharing the cutting-edge technologies we develop may make our lives better. This is the reason why we chose the Open Source model, the GNU General Public License in peculiar.

Waiting on my c860, soon as I flash, i'll do my part by sending some dinero via my Z.

lu

ps.  hands clapping and feet stomping, thanks also to every other z developer/newbie advisor for contributing and sharing.  You make an ordinary z a firebreathing Zaurilla with fricken lazer beams.

Thank, thank, thank you very much...

Some people donated as much as $500 in one donation - so now we are fit to fight for months to come:-)

Futhermore rgrep has joined our development team as is starting out "softly" - as i write this he has already begung work on the "screen blanker" applet - hopefully this will speed up many of the "wishes" on the wishlist/buglist.

Thanks again...

Wow!  I was going to donate $20-30 (which I still plan on doing), but having to pay $1,000 for a course that I wasn't expecting to take pretty much destroyed my finances for the time being...

That's great that some people can afford to donate that much to this project, you guys definitely deserve it!  I think we should be thanking those people as much as we're thanking the pdaxrom team, since it's generosity like that which will ensure pdaxrom's future.

PS: I bet a good slashdotting would help bring in a few more bucks to the project!    Has pdaxrom ever been on /. before?
