Hi Milton,


I will buy a Golden Key to support you and for the benefit of those who, like you and I, love this hobby.


I am an astro flyweight but I want to say I have the greatest admiration for you and all the work you have put into this fantastic software product. What a wonderful astronomy tool. It sooo exceeds my ability. Thank you also for the personal support you have given me. Maybe I will do more when I find the time.


FWIW, I have a link to your site and credit you there. I suspect it is rarely seen!   It's down right now, it was hosted on MoblieMe.


I understand your reality and your potential decision to pack it all up.  I can't imagine being without it going forward. You deserve my support.


I have none of the skills needed to help you to maintain Astro IIDC but if there were any way I could assist you I would.


I feel you are just about toast right now. I doubt that you will reconsider your decision anytime soon. Maybe a more static Application would still be possible to keep for the future, I don't know.


Milton, perhaps sometime in the future your great accomplishment can live on and become some part of an enjoyable hobby. Maybe then we can even let Mark Gaffney back in  ;^)


Best wishes,

John B.
