The AmigaOS4 Beer and Pizza Bounty

Talking with one of the unsung heros of AmigaOS 4.x development (there are many whose profile just isn't as high as the twin's) it struck me that they can't make a lot of money out of it and yeah, we could buy more copies of AmigaOS 4.x than we can use. However, there are only so many beer mats made of plastic you really want around the place.

Hmm.

Beer.

Hmm.

Why not a bounty to keep the developers well equipped in all they need, as in beer and pizza? A PayPal fund, tip the kitty with 50p here, a quid there and before you know it they might have enough to use a pizza wheel to share it out.

What do you reckon? Or just so ridiculously silly and we are far too po-faced these days...

@DaveP

Or have someone make some nice t shirts to sell and let hyperion have some of the income of that?

@DaveP

That sounds like a fun idea, and it ties in well with my unofficial cost-of-living index for a small gift: an amount of money sufficient to buy a large (NY) pizza and something to drink with it.

I like the Amiga T-Shirt idea

@DaveP

There's a Paypal donation button on the FriedenHQ website. That would get beer money to the Friedens. What about the rest?

@DaveP

Some developers don't drink beer, but sure could use some money for a real pair of pants...

@DaveP

No thanks, I would rather Amiga developers live long.

@DaveP

Beer destroys your brain and liver cells (and guess what, only one of them recreates )

Pizza will fatten your heart, so the percentage of getting a heart attack will rise, plus you become short-winded and you will loose the ability to run long distances without getting your belly in the way all the time ... really enerving

The moral of the story is ... we should all lay down and wait for the day to die...



crap that

beer, pizza and bretzels for everyone
