In the coming weeks, you'll notice a new block on the Warpstock site, for Amazon.com searches. Warpstock is now an Amazon.com Affiliate. This means that every purchase you make at Amazon, when you link there through this site helps Warpstock continue.

When you make a purchase of Warpstock merchandise at Warpstock's CafePress store, besides getting yourself something neat and stylish (with an official Warpstock logo on it), you'll be helping to support Warpstock. (Look for the CafePress.com store to be integarted with this site; that's coming soon, too.)

Of course, you can always donate directly to Warpstock through our PayPal button. No contribution is insignificant. Imagine if each of the OS/2 users Sun counted a few years ago were to contribute $1...

There are other ways you can contribute to Warpstock without spending a penny. As Warpstock is an entirely volunteer-driven organization, we're always looking for volunteers! And don't worry, we're not running out of things to do any time soon, either.

The CafePress sounds like a good idea. They do the work and WarpStock gets some support.

That's the idea. in the past, it has been a financial burden to handle inventory. This way, we're pretty much out of the loop. That said, the shirts are not embroidered like the ones we've had in the past, and we may yet do a limited run of premium shirts for this year. If so, we'll post an announcement.

Perhaps when one registers, one could prepay for an embroidered shirt and indicate what size one wants? It could indicate how many are wanted?

That's a good idea, Tom. The only problem is that typically, we have to commit to a certain number of shirts (in each size) when ordering the run. This is how Warpstpock, Inc got stuck with a bunch of extra shirts in years past. What might work better would be to have people pre-order on the site without pre-paying, with the proviso that should we reach the minimum quantity, then the order will be placed.

I'll bring this up to the Board and post back.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers.
