And again John, please please don't ban me for making that comment. I assure you my heart is in the right place. It isn't that I didn't believe you all. I just in all fairness wanted to get some verification first. It's nothing at all against him nor you, nor anyone personally. I hope no offense was taken. If it was, I profusely apologize.
Enough said. No hard feelings. Chris.----- Original Message ----- From: "John Panarese" <jpanarese@xxxxxx>

It is the nature of humanity and down right good sense not to take anything at face value. I understand that completely.I guess it comes down to having spoken to him. It's in his tone. It's as simple as that. If you heard him, you would know.Take Care John D.

Again, know: it's not I didn't believe you all, I just wanted to be completely 100% sure.I can't do anything this month, but maybe come July I could possibly look at paypalling you a small donation. Don't take this as gospel of promise. I'll do what I can, but I don't make a promise, as if I do, then I'm obligated. To me, a promise is like a vow. You make one, you best, on your life! not break it. I don't take promises lightly, period. Nor, should anyone.OK enough said. I don't wanna clog the list with my lengthy opinions. I'm done. Again, let me see what I can do. No promises, but I'll try. Sure he and I don't see eye to eye at all, but come on! I don't hate the guy. I do care about him, and frankly, if I can do anything I will. If I were in his place, I'd want you all to do the same for me, so I definitely both canempathize, as well as sympathise.

Basically, and think about this, folks, he was in his house at the time the robbery took place. He went down to get his mail and someone got in through the back screen door to rob him. This indicates that he was being watched for quite some time and the individual or individuals knew his patterns. Consider that fact if you are living on your own and what this might do to your psyche. So, please, no snide comments.David has been a member of the Apple user community since Tiger. I don't even know if I could count how many people he has helped over the last seven years with his time and knowledge. He, in fact, got me up and running on the Mac when I first got my iBook G4, and I credit him for giving me the courage and confidence to learn VoiceOver and eventually switch from Windows full time.Basically, Marcie, like myself, would like to help David in some way. So, please read Marcie's email and either contact her directly or contact me for any suggestions. The guy has literally lost his life, and as a community, we, if possible, should try to assist him in some way. This is not a matter of being some bleeding heart effort. This is a matter of helping someone who has given a lot to the community over the years and us returning that favor as a community.Thank You Take Care John D.

Stolenwere not 1 but 2 computers, a Macbook and an even newer Macbook Pro 13-inch. Also taken were a Braille display and his magic track pad. These items are quite valuable to any owner, but even more so in David's case. He is a disability technology consultant, and thosecomputers were his lifeblood. He has helped countless persons with allissues mac-related, including I'm sure many on this list, as well as providing invaluable information to all of us on all things mac. I am hoping that we can gather as a community to help David. I amlooking for ideas as to how we can best aid him so that he can continue to carry on his work. My thought was that we could gather together and donate money so that he can purchase a new computer, or we can purchaseone for him. Please write with your ideas. You can write to me off list at: marcy.weinberg1@xxxxxxxxx I know that I can count on you, the list members, to step up to the plate as you help a fellow member who has been so terribly violated, and thank you in advance for responding. -- Marcy marcy.weinberg1@xxxxxxxxx ************ You are subscribed to the mac4theblind mailing list.
