Hello Dave,
I may be stating the obvious, but in an earlier email you quoted a certain
hard disk size on the servers but did not say is it consisted of a number of
hard disks connected in a RAID configuration. If not, this would be one way
of significantly improving the throughput.

Regards

Brian Smart

We are already doing something on these lines!

Not because we want to make donations a major income stream, but
because people do ask us if they can give us money, and it would be
churlish to refuse :-)

For credit card payments, we are charged a processing fee, which would
certainly mean that £1.00 payments weren't practical and £5.00 would
be borderline.

We will also be able to accept sterling cheques and electronic
transfer (internet banking)

Watch this space!!
