Have a surplus PC? Send it to SEATURTLE.ORG...
SEATURTLE.ORG is completely developed and runs on Apple hardware. I find this to be a highly efficient and cost effective way to work. Mostly because of the Unix underpinnings of OS X, which gives me access to a huge world of free and powerful software.
However, since going solo with SEATURTLE.ORG I no longer have access to Windows boxes, and since Micro$oft no longer develops Internet Exploder for the Mac, I have no way of testing pages, tools and resources in IE. Since most people on the internet are (unfortunately) using IE, this presents a bit of a problem with some of the new advanced features that I am trying to develop (Come on, people! Please switch to Firefox!). Perhaps the most difficult aspect of all of the things I do is coding around all of the idiosyncrasies in IE. Just try searching for "idiosyncrasy internet explorer" on Google for a sample of what I am talking about.
If you or your organization has a surplus Windoze box (preferably a laptop for space considerations), and more importantly, can spare a licensed copy of Micro$oft Windows XP, it would go a long way toward supporting development of resources on SEATURTLE.ORG, and help me ensure that everything functions properly for all users. We don't need much, just something powerful enough to run the latest versions of Internet Exploder.
