    Does your nonsuggestion not raise a bigger issue - who ends up getting the CD even if we do donate some spare change along the lines of ?200 or so? (That's realistically what we'd end up achieving, knowing the monetary situation of this forum; to the members of Assembler, used to paying ?2500, their house and their firstborn daughter for things, that is most definitely spare change.)

    Wasn't that an episode of The Simpsons?

    If I had a job I'd buy it for several thousand. Unfortunately it'll be some wealthy misanthrope who gets it and we'll never see it again.

    If we end up with enough people, I could chip in up to $100, with the expectation that I'd at least get a copy of the disc (I wouldn't care about the original, I just want the data).

    I'm not involved in this at all, so I'm not going to offer any advice. But theoretically, if I were, I might be tempted to say "Who gives a shit? Destroy the original for all I care."

    In other news, Jim, don't bother with this guy. I think he's obviously displayed what a compassionate person he is. (sarcasm)

    Perhaps there's a way why don't we negotiate to the owner like (OK, this is VERY stupid what I'm about to say) "Renting" the disc, so we don't have to pay a whole lot of money. Yeah pretty stupid but that's what I'm thinking right now.

    Or maybe we can each chip in 1/100th of the price, each get 1/100th of the disc and use superglue! Yeah, that would be the way to do it for cheap!

    I don't even know the guy, and I can safely confirm that it's not leaving his hands until he gets the amount of money he wants, and he wants "four digits".

    We just need to come up with more than $2500, that's all. I can throw in $100, what about anyone else?

    Sorry, I'm not paying for anything online myself for at least another year.
    And still I'm not nuts about either the item or the seller. Bottom line, no moneys from me.

    That's fine, but seriously, besides not giving you something for free, what's wrong with the seller?

    TheRedEye is not the seller, he is simply the middle man.

    It also seems like at least one person at ASSEMbler's is also able to throw in $500, so if you were to do that, that'd be $1000, plus $100 (or $200 if we need it) from me.

    I think Frank's non-suggestion is good. We should work together with ASSEMbler's and try to snag this. Even if we end up not being able to distribute it to the scene, having multiple copies would help preserve the contents of the disc.

    Edit: Oh shit, if we're going to try to snag this, we better hurry. According to Frank at ASSEMbler's, "You guys have about a day, we're cutting this off at 6pm PST tomorrow (less than 24 hours from now)."

    who has the present bit of $2,500?

    Even with my $500, that guys $500, and your $100-$200, that's only $1100 - $1200.

    Also, $500 would be past my paypal limit, so I would have to pay by money order.

    Or how about if we buy the dam* disc with $900 in IOUs that I'm sure we (majority of us)saved in debts.

    Really guess_who, I'm just trying to help.

    Now is not the time for sarchasm.

    Although, on a completely irrelevant note, your posts are getting better, Rockman.

    Seriously, I'd love to donate, like $100, but I simply don't have that money to spend. I have to save up for college and stuff, and I can't blow 100 us dollars just like that. Before I moved to the USA I could've, but now... no.
