I wholeheartedly support and would contribute to a get-well sentiment of some sort, and not just because I am a Slackware fan and die-hard user. However, as with legal advice, it's always prudent to seek a second or third opinion with medical advice. I would be willing to contribute to a fund that would allow Patrick to visit the U of M, if that's what he would desire. Some hotel accomodation and travel expense. I don't know his condition, financial or health, but if I were that ill, I would prefer to be somewhere other than small-town Fargo. At the U, we have one of the best medical centers within a few states radius, save for Mayo. And I am also assuming that IV Penicillin, long-term, isn't cheap. Anyone who has any inroads with the man, or anyone (Adam?) who is willing to initiate contact with Patrick on the TCLUG's behalf may wish to discuss this with him. I can donate a significant amount more than $5 to help him out. -- -Kevin Hinze rudie at rudie.net | rudie at sihope.com hinz0047 at tc.umn.edu | http://rudie.net _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
