July 09,2003 - A2D91 Website Now Accepts Donations

 

As you may noticed, I never harmed you with ad banners, pop windows, but I always paid for servers, webspace, softwares, to give you one of the most interesting cybersurf experience. I provide filtered news on many subjects, share my personal arts for free through my gfx/photos/music & videos galleries, share my knowledge in many digital areas in the forums, emails and A2d91' webpages.

I opened few weeks ago the eStore http://estore.onickz.com where many of you already ordered tshirts, sweatshirts, freesbees etc but as I want to keep the prices as low as possible, I do not win a cent with it.

Today I just added a Donation button, located at the upper left of all A2D91 webpages. If someday you want to give me a little reward, in any currency, from dollars to euros, feel free to click on this button, and enter your credit card number through a dedicated and secured transaction page. It only takes one minute of your time, and will help me forever !
