Yes a big thanks to lagwagon for his very generous donation. You are quite studly...as you might already know. Thanks big time, Chris!
Just another quick note: A non-profit company is being set up to receive the donations. That will be retroactive so all of the money donated will be tax deductable. Once I have more info on that I will post it. Thanks for everyone's help. It's so awesome to see the webmaster community rally around to help one of our own.
