What is CollegeFundware?
You can help these adorable little kids go to college!
 Much
of the useful tools and utilities you'll find on this site are released as what
I like to call CollegeFundware, which is basically shareware with a bit of a twist.
You may use the software for a resonable period of time for evaluation
purposes. But if you like the software or if you want to keep using it after you
have evaluated it, you are required to license the software by donating some amount
to a college fund. Feel free to donate as much as you like, and please keep
in mind that no one is "getting rich" off your donations.
This contribution is for
Important: Donations are handled
by PayPal and are secure. You don't need to be a PayPal member to donate.
The cost of college increases at a rate about twice that of inflation, so when these little
kids end up going to college, it'll probably cost
at least US$300,000 EACH for
a decent public school, and about US$500,000 for a private university. I averaged
these numbers to estimate US$400,000. So if I can get 200 people a month to donate
US$10 each (or 100 at US$20 each, etc) then maybe I'll be able to afford to send
them to the schools they want to attend. Big goal? Yes, I know. (Of course if you happen
to be wealthy and benevolent, you're welcome to donate the full US$400,000. =)

Affiliations (or rather the lack there of)
I am not affiliated with Alibre, Inc. I don't work there nor and I paid by them
in any way. I am however totally sold on their design products, which I believe
are about the coolest things since sliced bread (not that I remember the advent
of sliced bread), and I'd encourange everyone and their mothers to look into their
product offerings if they're even slightly intersted in 3D modeling.
I am not affiliated with Microsoft, Inc.
I don't work there nor and I paid by them
in any way. I sure wish Bill or Steve would donate to these college funds, though. =) Yes,
Microsoft is big and has created a lot of billionnaires, but I think it's a darn
good company, especially since they've
started offering free development tools.
