    George -

    That's fantastic. Many don't realize, but most of that total is donated from him from sales he makes, and he gets no profit. I think we should make a group effort anytime we buy from George to add some extra for him. Basically he sold close to 7k worth of vinyl, CD's, speakers, various other gear, and donated all the money. Next time George - I'm buying the Pizza! Congrats!

    Best news so far this Polkfest weekend, George.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    George i can see that the Githens Center has an acct with Goodsearch.com, although they have not raised too much money with them we should ask Polkies to use them for searching and use goodshop.com as portal when buying stuff and then a percentage will go to the center.

    Nice work by Mr. G and excellent suggestion by Lasareath.

    Being somewhat cynical, I "Snoped" Goodsearch and it looks good.
    McAffee Site Advisor looks good, too.
    Here's a link with some discussion of Goodsearch; like CLub Polk, folks ask some tough questions that generate some good answers (don't let the link title discourage you):

    Goodsearch looks like an excellent way to generate some funds for a good cause.
