@internetarchive Yesterday I mailed a donation to the Internet Archives.
I encourage others to do the same.
BTW - Those making donations may be able reduce taxes. Our checks were drawn as qualified distributions, i.e. non taxable, from IRA/SEP accounts. The IRS has rules about how to do that, so check those rules out before you try it.
