Frank da CruzFor 30 years, I was paid to write, maintain, and document software such as Kermit. Now in retirement, I have to pay to do the same thing: Internet access, DNS registration, computers and accessories, home office and utilities. Furthermore, besides continuing development of C-Kermit (communications software for Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc) and maintenance of the Open Source Kermit website, I've also been working since 2013 on a project to uncover the deeply hidden history of FDR's New Deal in New York City 1933-43, a vast project involving travel, photography, cameras, commercial software (e.g. Photoshop), and research; the latter requiring purchase of books, subscriptions to newpaper archives, etc. I'm also responsible for a number of other popular Internet resources — a history of computing at Columbia University, a first-hand account of the 1968 student uprising at Columbia, a look at US Army bases in postwar Germany (and the army itself), some postwar Virginia history, international postal addressing, etc (see my home page for more). All this without ads, popups, click bait, or paywalls, or any of the other of the hallmarks of the modern Internet that make it increasingly annoying, useless, and dangerous. Plus the pages don't jump around while you're trying to read them; they sit still, and in most cases they adapt automatically to your screen size. PLUS you don't have log in or agree to any privacy or cookies policies before you can see them because these are all READ-ONLY websites and privacy is not an issue when you are not sending anything.

If you find any of this material useful, your contribution will help me to continue and also give me some indication of the level of interest in each project. For example, if an unexpectedly large amount of money comes in from this website, it could go towards paying a Windows programmer to complete the long-delayed release of Kermit 95 for Microsoft Windows as free software (I can't do it myself because I'm not a Windows programmer).
Then if you buy anything during your Amazon session, I get a small referral commission, usually 4% or less; Amazon pays this, not you. This also happens automatically if you follow explicit links in my pages to Amazon, e.g. to order a book from a References list. I don't track these transactions, nor would I have a way to; none of your information comes to me.
