Just my two cents...: although right now I don't have any money left to
donate I wouldn't even if I could. PayPal is just not where I want to
leave my name. A simple bank account to transfer money to would probably
attract more people. No registering, just pushing the money.
But that counts for me and I don't know if I'm representative... :)
