George, you didn't hear what he said.  He wants to send the money.
They won't take it.

Commodore, it can only help you to let EVERYONE know how to write
great software for your machine.  I'm glad to be a developer, but
I don't think it should be such an elite group of people.  A lot
of great software comes from individuals in their spare time.  What
good does it do Commodore to make it difficult for them?
