Great stuff. Thanks, that was fun. And I'm motivated to do my thing anyway. And dust off "Hitchhiker's Guide". - Mike Janicke

I'm back. Four teens killed in Roseville, MI yesterday by drunk driver (yep, the day before annual green beer/get drunk [for many] day today ... sad!) Families struggle to pay funeral arrangements. If I win, I'll give the $$ to their funeral fund and tell 'em that a Net wunderkind gave it to me, to give to them. They could really use it. - Carlo At Your Service

Robert, I’m a little taken aback, this is absolutely fantastic; I can’t thank you enough. I’m currently in a computer cluster at university as all Virgin Media broadband connections where I live have gone down. I would’ve loved to have participated in more of a discussion, but this cluster closes in 15 minutes. My ISP predicts that I’ll be re-connected by 19:00 (GMT) on the 19th. I may therefore be slow to respond to any contact etc. - thought this was pretty important for you to know, as you may have otherwise presumed that I was being ungrateful. Again, thank you and I look forward to hearing from you further, albeit not until the 19th. I’ll make sure I post a “thank you” video once everything is back up and running here. What an awful time for internet troubles! I tried to DM Richard Branson today on Twitter from my phone (I guess it was a last ditch attempt to try and get my connection back-up and running (seemed sensible at the time *hangs head in shame*)). Once again, thank you, this really means a lot - Daniel Rowley

Pretty cool Robert. All the best to the winners and everyone else. - Craig Mische

Ummm, Wow. I hadn't checked Ff in a while because I was celebrating my anniversary (for real) and now this! Woohoo. What do I do now? - Steve Lowe

I wish I could have won, but the top three are much more deserving of the money. Besides, Robert, having you promote my service when I finally get it launched would be worth much more than $1000 in my mind! - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

Robert, thanks again for all your help. I shared your gift with the team and they were speechless. I was listening to the broadcast from work and kept dropping the connection. I only caught about 15 min. I really can't tell you how appreciative I am for your help. Dolagy really deserves a chance at a normal life and now thanks to your donation, she is one step closer. - margaret chaidez

Wow!, Robert. Thank You. Mind and heart reeling and speechless... Still up at 02:55 grindstoning away, paying so much attention to the $&!% storm at hand that I haven't had time to come in and see how things were progressing with your very, very difficult choices to make. I agree with the commenters' thoughts above; especially Martha who wrote that it is truly "One of the Internet's finer moments" and I am humbled by it. May we continue on to do the same for others one day not too far off and do you proud. - B.E. (BJ) Johnson
