Hoi, no$msx & me need help! You know, making emulators is a lot of fun
and love in detail. It's a very time-consuming fulltime-hobby, and
doesn't leave time for a 'real' job or 'real' income.<BR>
<BR>
What I'm trying to say is that I seriously need monetary donations to be
able to continue working on no$msx and my other emulators.<BR>

Hoping that not all MSX users became shareware authors, and/or other
subversive losers, please take the time to mail a small amout of money.<BR>

<TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR bgcolor="#cccccc"><TD><A NAME="preferredamountpricelist"></A><FONT SIZE=+2>&nbsp;Preferred Amount (Price List)</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
<B>My die-hard marketing skills...<BR>
</B>Just to confuse you as good as possible, there are three different
(optional) prices listed below. In case of doubt: pick the topmost one,
or (to be absolutely sure to pick the correct one) - pick all: $40 + 80
marks + 25 pounds + all other currencies you can get hold of!<BR>
<BR>
<B>The No$msx Registration Key Price List<BR></B>
<TABLE><TR><TD><PRE> Description US$ Euro Marks Lira Pounds etc.
Very-Nice price 25 25 50 50000 15 ...
Friendly price 10 10 20 20000 5 ...
Nice price 5 5 10 10000 5 ...
</TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
<B>The currency / Is that required to be dollars?<BR>
</B>The currency doesn't matter - send whatever you want, dollars, crowns,
gulden, pounds, pesetas, yen, or else - if you've some 'foreign' money
left from your last holidays, then this is your chance to get rid of it.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Is there a difference between "nice" and "friendly" keys?<BR>
</B>Nope, there's no actual difference between the keys, just pick the
amount that sounds best to you. For example, if a cup of coffee is a
bigger expense to you, then I'd vote for the nice price key, don't want
to rip off anybody.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR bgcolor="#cccccc"><TD><A NAME="registeringpermail"></A><FONT SIZE=+2>&nbsp;Registering per mail</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
<B>Include what<BR>
</B>Take an envelope, put a stamp onto it, and don't forget to include:<BR>
<TABLE><TR><TD><PRE> Program name : MSX emulator
Your name : Bob Smith (or else, if different)
Your email : bob@somewhere.any (or else)
The money : cash (or cheque)
</TD></TR></TABLE>If possible (and if you'd like to get a reg key) please use best
handwriting or printer for the email address, and take care that letters
like "1" (One) and "l" (lowercase L), or "I" (uppercase i) can be
identified as such.<BR>
<BR>
<B>And here we go...<BR>
</B>Ready? Then send all of the above straightly to my <A HREF="address.htm">mailing address</A>.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR bgcolor="#cccccc"><TD><A NAME="registeringpercreditcard"></A><FONT SIZE=+2>&nbsp;Registering per credit card</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
No, sorry. Up to now I don't have set up such a thing. In fact, I have
never even seen a credit card except in TV, those things aren't that
popular in germany yet.<BR>
<BR>
If anybody could direct me on how to accept credit cards - please email
me! Something like 'Paypal'... (no, paypal isn't available in germany
yet, at least not for &lt;accepting&gt; money).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR bgcolor="#cccccc"><TD><A NAME="registeringpermoneytransfer"></A><FONT SIZE=+2>&nbsp;Registering per money transfer</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
<B>Please note<BR>
</B>I am not walking to the bank office too often, so it might take a while
until I discover that new money has arrived. Money transfers would be
recommended inside of germany only (from what I know, a money transfer
from USA costs 25 dollars).<BR>
There's limited ability to specify your name and email address in the
'comments' field (needed for sending a reg key), for example, my bank
office doesn't support the "@" symbol (seriously) (not to mention that
text scanners might be unable to decipher handwritten email addresses).<BR>
<BR>
<B>My Bank Account<BR>
</B>Okay, I'd say that mailing cash or cheque is safer, cheaper, easier, and
faster. But if you prefer money transfers (and have read the above),
here's my account:<BR>
<TABLE><TR><TD><PRE> Martin Korth
Bank Institute: Hamburger Sparkasse (Hamburg, Germany)
Bank Code Number: 200 505 50
Account Number: 1276 456 231
</TD></TR></TABLE>Don't forget your email address ("YOU-AT-WHATEVER.COM"), and the word
"MSX" in the comments field.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR bgcolor="#cccccc"><TD><A NAME="receivingusingregistrationkey"></A><FONT SIZE=+2>&nbsp;Receiving & Using Registration key</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
<B>Delivery time<BR>
</B>Once your money has arrived, most likely the following will happen: I am
super busy working on one of my proggys, and/or I am so tired that you
wouldn't really want me to attempt to write down your exact email
address correctly. Please be patient if it takes me one or two weeks
until I find time to send a key. Anyways, I am never removing the money
without making the reg key at the same time, so you can be sure that I
won't 'forget' to send it.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Using the reg key<BR>
</B>The key will be send as a small file (per email), note that this file is
a file (to be copied into the emulators directory), it is NOT a number
(in case you've been looking for a place where you could enter a code -
none such exists).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR bgcolor="#cccccc"><TD><A NAME="benefitsforregisteredusers"></A><FONT SIZE=+2>&nbsp;Benefits for registered users</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
<B>So, and what's the key doing?<BR>
</B>The most important part is that it'll display your name in the
'aboutbox' (windows version) and/or the 'exitmessage' (dos version). And
otherwise - very sorry, but no$msx is already fully functional, with and
without key - please don't take that wrong - it does NOT mean that I
wouldn't want to receive any money.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Future Updates / DOS and Windows versions<BR>
</B>The reg key won't expire, it'll work for both DOS and Windows versions,
on as many computers as you want. And it'll be valid for future updates,
that's probably not a really good marketing idea, on the other hand I am
forever thankful to registered users, and don't have any plans to charge
additional money from them. Unless eventually if somebody seriously
wants to donate more money - you are welcome.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Privacy<BR>
</B>Not sure if it's neccessary to say that, but I'll better do: You don't
have to be worried that I might sell or rent your name, mailing address,
or email address to other people or companies. I promise that I won't do
either one - I don't like advertisings and spam, too.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR bgcolor="#cccccc"><TD><A NAME="whatthemoneywillbeusedfor"></A><FONT SIZE=+2>&nbsp;What the money will be used for</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR>
<B>Basically used for...<BR>
</B>Just need it to buy food & to pay the rent, otherwise don't have special
expenses, I am a very bad and rather decent consumer, no expensive
luxory hobbies - except for my cottages, the yacht, the car park, my
airplane, the servants & employees, and collecting old paintings...<BR>
<BR>
<B>Aye, seriously...<BR>
</B>None of the above (except for the part about food & rent), and beside
for that I've been even able to save some money for the future, it's
good to know that I'd be able to survive for a while in case that the
public interest in emulators should fade out sometimes.<BR>
<BR>
Anyways, for now your donations are allowing & motivating me to continue
improving no$msx and my other emulators...<BR>
