Even just being a friend, can mean a lot in times like this, and just letting 
him know that we care, and we are so glad that he himself is unharmed.  I may 
not agree with most things that he says or does as I'm sure you all by now have 
notice on list from our previuos interactions.  But totally throwing that out 
the window in a whole, I don't like some of the things he does, no, but that 
doesn't mean I don't like him just for who he is as an individual.  I 
definitely do care about him, and also would love to help in some way if I can. 
 Financially I can't right now, but if I can do something else within reason, I 
definitely will.

Was he actually home when they did this?  I just can't even imagine the fear he 
must a felt.  The unknown of am I gonna be hurt, or God forbid, worse, killed.

He may not have much more physically, but he has us as friends and family.  I 
know together we'll all pull through this.  It won't be easy, but I know this 
will work out for the good in the longrun.

Chris.

  That terrible to hear. I'm afraid I don't have money that I could contribute, 
but if I can be of help in some other way, please let me know. I don't know 
what that would be at this point, but my heart goes out to him. I know I'd be 
crushed if this happened to me.

    Hello, all,

    David Poehlman, a member of this list, was robbed last week.  Stolen were 
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 those computers were his 
lifeblood.  He has helped countless persons with all issues 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 am looking 
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 purchase one for him.  

    Please write with your ideas.  You can write to me off list at:

    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.
