I was not referring to power bills and such. I was actually thinking of |
| 16 |
burnt harddrives, cpus, memory sticks etc. Such things can be purchased |
| 17 |
and sent (and thus moneys tracked). In other words, my statement was |
| 18 |
about things rather than cash. Having said that, it is entirely |
| 19 |
possible that it would be a slippery slope with a lot of devs suddenly |
| 20 |
in need, but I tend to think people are basically good and that that |
| 21 |
won't happen. |
