... aware the older versions of windows leave a lot to be desired when it comes to security.I believe computers running XP would be the oldest microsoft version to connect online with adequate security available that would be able to check in.I would hope your change in policy is as successful as it deserves to be.I can name two products that have been successful when reliant on donations.One is JMRI which I am sure many will all ready know about.Another is PCLinuxOS a linux distribution that relies on financial donations and forum help from and for its users.Another aspect about the PCLinux model is the rolling update method it uses. Improvements updates and bugs are all dealt with by volounteers/members.I know Templot is closed source but I believe some of the same ideas used in the open source community would work just as well.Looking forward to the release of Templot2.
