Perhaps it would be logical to make the 'minimum donation' equal to the cost of
one fish disk at the subscription rate.  At the rate of $300 per 100 disks, the
per disk cost of $3.00 should be easy for most people to bear.  You could think
of it as 'having a Fish disk dedicated in your name' :-).

Me.  I'll kick in $6.00, since I rely heavily on the availability of the Fish
at ux1.  Not sure of who to mail the pledge to, though.

Are we rolling yet?

Regards,
Chris
