hmm, if you were really begging... would you publish the actual amount of money you have received? I'm pretty sure he had hundreds of dollars by now... if not from windows haters only, but then again he needs to advertise more
QUOTE(whyme @ Jan 27 2005, 07:08 PM) Funny site I came across today, and thought I'd shared it with you: The Newest Case of Online Begging or (Donating?). Anyways, this high-school student seems to have had enough of windows, and set up a website asking people to donate money for him to buy a Mac Mini, http://www.helpanthony.uni.cc. Heh Heh, I donated $3, seeing that he's suffering so much..   .... Do you know by any chance how much money he has made so far... my guess is if more people do what this person's done it will be made illegal to beg online soon too!Shyam
well, it says on his site that he's got 5 dollars so far, and hmm... I guess my 3 dollars adds up to 8? hehe
Hmmmm....my question is why doesnt he switch to linux if his only problem is that he hates windows? I don't really believe that he needs, or wants a Mac Mini. He jsuts wants some money. Good idea lol...something I might think to try one day
 .
Hmm..i guess it's probably becasue he doesn't know how to install linux.
lol that was an interesting website, I wonder how long that guy has had the website up for? I can't imagine how long it may take until he gets enough donations to pay for the Mac Mini! It's kind of risky donating to those kind of websites, because you never know what that person is really going to do with the money. Like imagine after a year and he has got many donations and then he gets a Mac Mini from his parents or maybe he doesn't need it anymore or whatever, what's he going to do with all the donated money? Return it?
 Anyway, good luck to him I guess... maybe there are a lot of generous people out there online? I found it funny when I read the copyright bit at the bottom of the website: The Mac Mini is Copyright © 2005 Apple Computer, Inc. All rights reserved. If you're Apple, please don't sue me, I'm only a student. lol QUOTE Funny site I came across today, and thought I'd shared it with you: The Newest Case of Online Begging or (Donating?).

Heh Heh, I donated $3, seeing that he's suffering so much.. Lol that is pretty funny begging for money. How did you find this site? I mean i cant believe actually asking people to donate money for a mac mini. I mean its not like he would ever donate money to anyone else. They are just begging for themselves but I bet he didn't even donate a penny to the tsunami.
Well, you can't put the guy down for trying, I mean he's done better than I could've. But that's alot of money he's asking for. Personally, I'd just switch OS'es and keep my old comp. And buy a pair of Jordans with the money... lol
That's also a good question, what would he do with the money if he gave up, or got the Mac from someone as a gift? I mean, he could end up buying something illegal, and have the people that donated to him in some trouble... or mabye I'm paranoid?

A job is essential for the boy, although I give him a lot of credit for coming up with such an original idea. Kudos to him, I guess...
