Saying thanks
|
This site was set up in 1999 to provide a free service that would allow people to update and secure their computers. It has grown a long way from the handful of Y2K updates that made up the original collection. As a result, the site covers more than 'just a few patches' and now includes tips, advice and thousands of downloads to help to take the pain out of using a computer.
Many visitors have asked if there is any way they help us continue the service. If that's you, here are a few things you can do:
- Simply say 'thank you'. If you find some aspect of the site helpful, send an email and tell us why.
- If it broke, we fix it. Web sites are dynamic and this one is created by humans - humans that can make mistakes. If you see a typo, a dead link, confusing advice or some other error, let us know. Just for the record, we use 'Licence' - the English spelling of the US 'License', but thanks to the 216 people that have emailed us so far.
- Suggest a patch or update that we don't have on the site. We are not trying to catalog every update, but if you see an update that may be useful to others, drop us a line.
- Tell others about the site. As you meander around the Web, you are bound to come across other sites, forums, blogs and numerous people who have shared similar problems to you.
- Finally, some visitors have asked if they can make a gift or donation. The site was always designed for free and open access to everyone. However, if you want to send a dollar or two as a gift to say thanks, click the donate button below (via Paypal). We've lisited some of the larger donations and comments below.
Some notable donations
- John C, donation $20: 'I was told by a computer repair store that it would cost hundreds of dollars to repair my computer. But all I needed was to follow your advice and now it's fixed. Thanks.'
- Neville B, donation $10: No comments left, but thanks for the support.
- Denise K, donation $10: 'I was devasted when I thought I had lost all my holiday photos and now I have them back! Woo hoo. You guys rock.'
- Martin Y, donation $7: 'I've been using your site for 7 years. I am not rich, but here is $7. I am sure you can do the maths.'
- Mitchell D, donation $5: 'Flash player problems were driving me nuts. I found your site and in 10 minutes you solved a problem that had already seen me waste many frustrating hours on the Adobe site without fixing a thing.'
