Why should you donate to the K3b developers? K3b is an open-source project. Nobody is paying us for the work on K3b so all development is done in our sparetime.

That does not mean that I only want your money. ;) I also have a german Amazon wishlist. I also really like french comics, so here is my french Amazon wishlist. But I am sure you have some much cooler ideas I simply don't think of.

I am always in need of empty DVD and CDR media to test stuff...

If you have a very old CD drive or writer which is not fully MMC compliant and don't need it anymore, you may send it to me so I may improve support for non-MMC drives.

A big thank you to all of you who donated. I really appreciate it. :)
