As for a "loan/donation" If MICE were to get the bank account down to minimum values to pay the support contract for 3 years, and port fees were slower than expected to come in, you can count on me to personally loan/donate MICE the fees to cover other normal expenses like ARIN fees, or misc parts.
First off, as always, thank you for your support of MICE.
After the first purchase, I want to reassure everyone that we
will still have plenty of money to pay the ARIN fees and other
miscellaneous expenses. We'd still have well over $10,000 in the
bank.
In terms of making the payment for the second order... if we can't
collect roughly 20% of our port fees in 4-5 months, I think we
have serious problems beyond the support contract.
