    Great, but...

    If you really want to help, donate (blood and/or money) directly to the Red Cross. Go to the Red Cross website or call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (blood donations) or 1-800-HELP-NOW (monetary donations).

    Still, if you've been meaning to buy DAVE or whatever and just hadn't gotten around to it, now's a good time. You can get software and do a good deed at the same time. But if you just want to do a good deed, there are more direct methods.

    Also...

    Paypal and Yahoo are accepting donations.

    Alladin is also donating money from sales. M$ gave $5M in money and $5M in software (they always got to push their software, don't they).

    RE: M$

    Of course! The first thing I thought of, wasnt giving blood or donations to help the victims, it was sending them a copy of F#)$^)ING OFFICE 2000

    re: Apple

    I am REALLY surprised by this. Every webpage I go to, especially the big, major companiies (ie MS) has something offering at least condolences, if not $$ assitance, EXCEPT Apple...

    I know Apple is a multi-national conglomerate, but until they speak out, I can see where some BUYERS might think Apple anti-American. I know right now, I'm a SUCKER for anything with a flag on it...

    God, why does it take something like this for us to remember/demonstrate patriotism....?

    America: she ain't perfect, but she's as close as they come...
