How and why to register for GOOSEE |
GOOSEE is "donationware" for individuals. If you would like to support this work, a small cash donation is one voluntary option -- I suggest US$10. Alternatively, I will be very pleased to receive support in the form of you using GOOSEE for real projects and giving me feedback. I will be pleased to host any completed projects for others to access -- maybe you would like to port the SCREEM RTOS to another CPU or to enhance it in some way?
For educational, business, and government institutions, GOOSEE.EXE and the User Manual are shareware. That is, a site licence is payable after an evaluation period. This is a nominal fee of US$100, negotiable depending on the size of the institution/number of users.
These are your payment options:
Cash |
I have a friend who receives cash payments in the mail, and he has found it to
be reliable, though of course frowned on by the Post Office. Place US$10 in
an envelope, wrapped in paper so it isn't visible when held up to the light,
posted by first-class airmail or courier/registered mail. The equivalent in
Euros is also acceptable, rounded slightly up or down to the nearest note.
For other major currencies, such as UK Pound, German Dm, French Franc,
or SA Rand, add an extra amount equivalent to about US$3 (i.e., approx.
equivalent to US$13 total) -- I have an extra expense in converting other
currencies, and some I cannot convert at all. |
Check |
A personal check (cheque) is acceptable, made out in your local currency
(US or major Western European currencies only). However, my bank
charges A$15 (about US$9) processing fee for a foreign check, so the
registration fee if payment is by check is US$20 or equivalent in a major
European currency. The bank also requires 30 days to clear the check. |
USBank |
If you are in the USA and in a state with a branch of the USBank nearby (it's
only in 17 states apparently, on the West coast), you can deposit US$10
cash directly into my associate's account. There is no bank charge for this,
however there are hefty fees if you go into some other bank in the US and
transfer money into an account in the USBank. |
Email: credit card |
PayPal is the new easy way to pay by email. I'm planning to get this setup sometime in 2000. |
I cannot accept payment by credit card, nor money order.
