Copied from another thread.

I've just created a Chipin page for Kovidgoyal to get a PRS505. Please donate if you'd like libprs500 to work with the 505 like it does with the 500.

Thank you very much. We are now 56% towards our goal! Make it 59% :-)

I do not plan to move to 505, but happily contributed for new readers for both Igor and Kovid. Good luck in hacks, guys. And don't stop supporting the 500 :-)

I'd just like to say thanks to everybody who's contributed. Irrespective of whether we make the final total or not, seeing that so many people like my work is a great feeling.

Looking really good... it's already up to 83%. And the neat thing in the collections for both Igor and Kovid is that many contributers are surely simply saying thanks for their work already done, and don't even plan to buy a 505! The potential future work is simply a wonderful bonus! :)

I see 77% not 83% at $271.

Yay! Seems to really be $291 at 83%. :)
Maybe your screen didn't refresh with the new amount yet when you looked at it?
Thanks for setting this up for him, by the way. It's a very good cause! ;-)

I had to clear the cache and refresh to get it to show 83%. But it does now.

Do you think it would work if I setup a donation for a 505 for me so I can help by testing the hacks and libprs505?

102% :-)

I'm glad to be a part of a forum that quickly got two readers for two members.
Haven't seen such a thing in other forums.

Thank you everyone who has donated. We have indeed reached our goal. Once the money has gone from Paypal to my account and I have Kovidgoyal's address to send it to, I'll be ordering one for him.
