        Instead of a charity drive, why not try to find someone willing to
dedicated their hardware and bandwidth to the list?  If people want to
send Jory money for what he's done, that fine, but I highly doubt it'll be
enough to help him get all the items listed, and to keep it, the money
will have to keep coming.  Microchip comes to mind, they have a nice
domain, and it would be quite appopriate if they did take over the list,
that is, if they were willing.
