New As for the 'corporate' response...
Has anyone other than APple actually acknowledged the event has happened? Yesterday I had a quick look at Apple, Dell, Microsoft and Sony - Apple was the the only one of those with a message on their front page, and links to places where you could donate money.

Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

re personal contrib, lobbying the US Feds.. and not just waiting for Congress to stumble next into some committee-launch - to study the Problem.

'Course they aren't a Corporation - they be much larger, from one angle of view.

They also have some good ideas/minute: one is to use New Years parties for some collections - mentioning Oxfam, UNICEF, CARE, and the Red Cross/Red Crescent - for starters.







Maybe Billy will treble the US contribution.. this time, not in certificates for XP purchase. Maybe.

New The City of Sydney is doing its bit.
The 9pm firework display will start with a minute's silence, and aid agency charity collection points will be set up at the entrances to the main fireworks-viewing areas (eg Opera House forecourt, Circular Quay and so on).

Only eight hours of the year left...!

Looks like I shouldn't have skipped putting on the third coat of sarcasm.
