If any of you would care to show your appreciation, Doctor Zin and his team of brave people have run into a small financial surprise. When they moved their site from blogger to where they are now, they had so many articles (from the archives) and they found out that it would cost them around $2000 a year to maintain their new site. I know I would appreciate any help you may offer, and I know they would be as well. You may donate here. Thank you, and have a very nice day.
