This is mildly emberassing, to be in error that is. It was very late and while 
I thought that last deposit should have come through already I just assumed 
it had been delayed since the amount was the same. It's hard to imagine that 
some of the friends of this project are so generous. Several more people took 
it upon themselves to show tangible support and help us with our expenses. 
Werner and Robert provided very generous contributions that completely 
changed our standing. Even though I didn't do much email yesterday it was a 
very good birthday.

One of the things I hope to do is to also revitalize Kommander development. 
With a working KStuff and an enhanced Kommander as well as other developments 
pending on Quanta we will have a unique opportunity. It would become possible 
to look for functionality for specific tasks by accessing the New Stuff menu 
and have a large selection of custom user developed tool which you could 
download and instantly use. This would include complete dialogs and interface 
modifications. Ideally that would also mean being able to make a plugin tool 
by drawing it, pointing and clicking to make it's scripts and choosing a part 
configuration in it's properties. The idea is to make users into developers 
and then manage resources to make Quanta a much richer tool to use.

Anyway I want to extend a very heartfelt thanks to our supporters for helping 
us to make a difference at this time. Your support is still welcome and 
useful but we can now operate with much less stress. That's wonderful!
