Alright guys, Jimilee pulled a name last night. 

elderbroom.....you got em!  PM me with your mailing info.  :) 

Thanks again to EVERYONE that contributed to this.  We will do something similar with other batches. 

Hello Bernie,

I already bought batch 1 & 2 from you .. expecting batch 2 to arrive likely tomorrow.   But what I will do with this set, assuming you are okay to give me a second set.   A local gamer buddy helped me out big the other day, when my furnace was acting up, when I had a house full of relatives over the weekend. He's a HVAC technician by trade, and he dropped what he was doing and helped me out on a Sunday to get heat going again (I'm in Canada, it's been near freezing out).  He won't accept cash for this gesture,  but I did turn him onto TG16 about 6-8 months ago and I know he recently got a Duo-R.  I will gift these to him for as a Thank-you for his good deed.  He's a standup dude, and I can assure you they will remain with him. Let me know if that works for you
Having a friend in the HVAC trade is priceless!!! My neighbor is a HVAC technician. Fortunately for me, he insists on being paid in Bud Light. He fixed my AC this summer for 2 cases. Lol

I almost went into HVAC myself hearing from classmates in High School that they made $50k/year to start back in the early 90's. I had even started training before quitting within months and instead applying to my local university which eventually got me started in computers as a software developer. But, an ole High School classmate did complete training and I gave him a call years later for help when the furnace fan blower motor died. He drove me to a motor supplier where he as a licensed HVAC technician shops and let me buy it myself, then drove me back. I installed it myself as I always loved a little DIY project now and then. Sometimes I've bitten off more than I can chew, that's for sure, but that same $199 GE blower motor has been working for well over 17 years ever since!

I just wanna say...


CONGRATS!!!!

I entered this contest hoping to win, but then I bought the discs I wanted/needed. It became just another donation.

In the end... I know for a fact that myself, visiting these forums almost exclusively for my retro gaming purposes.... would donate more often to translators and programmers if links were readily available on this site or in siggs specifically.

I do believe that this type of raffle for donations helps allow people like me to recognize those that do the hard work that I and I am sure many others appreciate even if the people doing the translations and programming do not know it.


So... THANK YOU

NightWolve

You have a fan right here in Michigan enjoying you're work.

Thanks guys! I guess I should've had Bernie as my "agent" of sorts for donation drives/programs when I started out. Maybe I wouldn't be as bitter as I am. ;)
