11 | ||
12 | Making A Difference | |

20 | For several years now, the editors of _\bD_\br. _\bD_\bo_\bb_\bb_\bs _\bJ_\bo_\bu_\br_\bn_\ba_\bl | |
21 | have overseen a charity program called _\bC_\ba_\br_\be_\bw_\ba_\br_\be. Careware, | |
22 | in a nutshell, is a way to "give back" something to those | |
23 | less fortunate in our community, and, at the same time, | |
24 | obtain a copy of a popular piece of software featured in the | |
25 | magazine -- simply by stuffing a dollar or two in your | |
26 | floppy mailer for a local charity! It's that easy. | |
27 | ||
28 | Now, as part of the DDJ Careware Program, we are making | |
29 | available to the editors of DDJ the latest version of our | |
30 | "Tiny 386BSD" installation floppy. Even though we have made | |
31 | this software freely available -- with no contribution | |
32 | required for the use of 386BSD -- we hope that the 386BSD | |
33 | User Community will choose to participate in this charity | |
34 | drive and help the children aided by the _\bC_\bh_\bi_\bl_\bd_\br_\be_\bn'_\bs _\bS_\bu_\bp_\bp_\bo_\br_\bt | |
35 | _\bL_\be_\ba_\bg_\bu_\be _\bo_\bf _\bt_\bh_\be _\bE_\ba_\bs_\bt _\bB_\ba_\by. | |

39 | In this age of "fiscal austerity", many small community | |
40 | organizations -- especially those working with children -- | |
41 | have been hard-hit by state and local budget cuts. The CSL | |
42 | is a volunteer organization which is solely dedicated to | |
43 | raising funds for small local agencies which help needy | |
44 | children. Some of the agencies which have received funds | |
45 | from CSL in the past include those using computers to com- | |
46 | municate with disabled children, providing respite weekends | |
47 | for abused children, counciling bereaved children, and set- | |
48 | ting up safe after-school play areas for children in impo- | |
49 | verished neighborhoods. | |
50 | ||
51 | Simply put, by sending a dollar or two along with your | |
52 | software request, you directly benefit a child. Even if it | |
53 | is only a dollar, it does make a difference. | |

57 | To get a labeled copy of "Tiny 386BSD", send a high- | |
58 | density error-free formatted floppy (either 3.5-inch or | |
59 | 5.25-inch) and a SASE mailer to: | |

79 | While there is no obligation to participate, if you would | |
80 | like to help a disadvantaged child, just include a dollar or | |
81 | two (or more, if you so desire) in your mailer and we'll | |
82 | make sure it gets to the Children's Support League. (If you | |
83 | send a check, please make it payable to the "Children's Sup- | |
84 | port League of the East Bay"). | |

89 | Thanks to the generous and enthusiastic response of the | |
90 | D-Flat C-library users and and X-Sharp 3-D Graphics users, | |
91 | the DDJ Careware Project has helped hundreds of people | |
92 | throughout the country. | |
93 | ||
94 | While a dollar or two may seem like a trivial amount, | |
95 | it does add up. The Brevard County Food Bank in Florida has | |
96 | received over $3,000 in the past year alone from supportive | |
97 | users of D-Flat, and the Vermont Association for the Blind | |
98 | and Visually Disabled has received over $100 in the past | |
99 | month from X-Sharp users. For these charities, a dollar or | |
100 | two has made a difference! | |
101 | ||
102 | Now it's our turn. Just like the generous users of D- | |
103 | Flat and X-Sharp, we believe that each person in the 386BSD | |
104 | User Community is quite willing to meet the challenge and | |
105 | help a child. We know that a dollar or two from 386BSD | |
106 | users can make a difference as well. The choice, however, | |
107 | is yours. | |
