This web site is a hobby for me. However, the time and money involved makes this hobby an expensive one. I, alone, spend on average 4-6 hours a day ensuring the information is of the highest quality and the web site is maintained and available at all times. If you have benefited from this site and find it enjoyable, any donation amount, from 50¢ to $50, would help keep the site up and running.
Thanks and enjoy the site!
