Shame that iT4C has now decided to start charging charities £85 a year to register. I gave a lot of my time for free in the spirit of charitable giving, now they're putting a pound sign on it all. I am sure that the web site and administration of the operation ain't free, but it feels like a kick in the teeth for those of us giving many hours, days and nights disinfecting machines, cleaning up operating systems, fixing domains, web sites and email, properly protecting the computers and generally giving a damn about volunteering - to see this hefty fee get introduced. I don't want to be paid, I don't want to be given recognition or praise, I just feel £85/year is against the spirit of it all.

maybe the guvurmunt should seek out some worthy IT volunteers to sort out the HNS patients record system and one or two other screwed-up, bloated, $$$$-making guvurmunt IT contracts, especially in these times of, "it isn't our fault, it's a global thing", belt-tightening. I bet the job would be a darn sight better.
