 Well... should we all just lay back and watch this, or should we help? If
Guido doesn't have economy to get himself a new machine, why don't we all
run a collect of some sort to bring new Atari hardware into Guido's hands?
I think this would be a good way to make sure the MiNTlib doesn't die
along with his TT ;-) My very own economy is extremely tight, but for I
would be more than happy to put in a small amount.. if we all do, it
wouldn't be much per person...

 Anyone?
