    If we are struggling a little bit near the end, I could donate a little more.

    ASSEMbler, I've (rhechtfoundry) committed to $5 but I'll be out of town for a week. I'll pay when I get back.

    Lets step it up guys, or all is in vain. Skip going for some fast food for a day, and that puts us even closer, this really could be a one time chance to play Sonic Xtreme.

    I've just chucked in an order for 20. Should help. I can go more if necessary (I don't have a Saturn, but I'm all for a cause...)

    Make sure when you bid again you bid the TOTAL number you want, not additional.

    If we can finish this up today, the owner is willing to cut $100 off the total.
    So if we can raise $350 we can start distribution almost immediately.

    107 individuals have bid on average three times each. Yet the video has over 610 downloads from the 800 or so people in this group.

    This is a bit pathetic. Please find it in you to donate at least $5.
    It's not fair to have the few support the many. Not after that
    many downloads.

    I am sorely tempted to trim this special forum down to only those who
    are willing to contribute.

    Whoa, it is pretty annoying that so many people know enough about this to download the video but aren't contributing to the demo's release.

    I've bought 10 items so far and am happy to buy more in order to help secure this thing before the time runs out, but I can't justify paying the remaining $450 myself. I wouldn't hear the end of it from the wife! =P

    All you guys who haven't donated anything - please do. One item each would be enough to secure this thing for us all.

    Ok, I've bought 30 of these things - $168 from me.

    Perhaps if the demo was kept exclusive to those who bid on this auction for a longer period of time, more people would be willing to place just a single bid?

    P.S - I haven't seen the video yet. Does anyone have it?

    Thanks for your generosity. Quite ironic how a new member
    has done more than any established user.

    $240 left!!!
