I've had this statement on my main page "If anyone finds something useful in the information above especially in the tips and repair briefs if they would like to mail me a dollar or whatever I will donate to charity and acknowledge here" for 8 years. For 2 weeks I added a stat-tracker to those files, requiring excessive downloading of data, as limited to a log of 100 visits, loosing some overnight when USA is awake. I know from the symptoms and make and model put into search engines , about 3 people a week got spot on diagnosis of repairs, over those 2 weeks. Guess how many donations I've made to charity over those 8 years? -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |
