Two months ago I made a post about my birthday and included the Amazon.com wish lists from all the people who work on this site. A few of you bought me some books, and I wanted to thank you so much for your kindness! I'm currently reading about the history of Sony (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0618126945/jasonsego) (superb book!), and it's very enlightening when I think about why they're not currently making a Pocket PC. :-) Remember that since no one gets paid to write on this site, if you want to thank you favourite author for bringing you news &amp; views day and night, check out their wish list.

I'm sure Jason gets paid the same way many business owners get paid. Right after the last bill is paid every month they write a cheque. Sometimes to themselves.... sometimes against their personal account... to cover that last bill.

Right Jason.

I think to often posters such as myself forget, or loose site of the fact that guys like you, Steve Bush, Dale Coffing, and others are footing a bill each month so we can have a place to come and critisize what you do.

Thanks, the cheque is in the mail. Right after I pay my last bill this month. :D

Yes, whatever income this site generates generally goes toward me - banner ads, affiliate sales, etc. But it's not enough to live on, I can tell you that much. :? That's why I appreciate my sponsors so deeply, and the fact that Sonic Mobility is hosting our site for free. If I had to pay $500 a month for hosting, I'd probably shut the site down.
