This is to let you all know my current personal status. Some of you already know my situation.


Since I started learning computers in 1995 due to pressure of computers taking over jobs at the place I worked, I found that people like me needed help with thier computers as I did while I was learning and I pitched in where I could to help them with thiers.

This led to me helping with Lavasoft for a while then building this website some of you have grown to love and learn at.

During the last 2 years I have had a problem with a bad disk in my neck and last May, I lost my job of 13 years because of this problem.

Since then I have been trying to make a go of selling software on the site to make a living because I cannot hold down a normal job now due to frequent headaches and neck problems.

I have made it by barely thus far with some help from Net-Integration hosting the site and personal help from another website owner Mike Healan, however it is getting close now to me possibly losing my house as I have not turned the site to making enough money and my wife only works a minimum wage job at present.

I had hoped I would not ever have to post this but my future on the internet at this point from my house is getting close to being a thing of the past.

Wow.

My hope is that the good wishes and prayers of so many for you in this situation are answered.

You've helped a great many people Tom, in so many ways, with your work and this wonderful site.

If there is to be a transition, and I can help that effort in any way, it would be a privledge to be included.

From another one (of many) who has dealt with personal tragedy this year, my prayers are with you Tom. Keep the faith - faith, courage and ethusiasm will help you along life's constant tests. Let us hope your health stabilizes, then everything else can be more easily dealt with.
