This page lists former items of the Mini vMac Wish List that have been obtained, thanks to donations from sponsors.
sponsors: Zebadiah Kimmel, Iván dominguez martin
ordered: April 6, 2010; received: April 13, 2009I strongly prefer keyboards without a numeric keypad, so that there is less distance to the mouse. Unfortunately they are rare, and I want to encourage Apple for making one. The Apple keyboard is quieter and requires less force than my current Happy Hacker Lite. Having two keyboards would mean less stuff to cart around between the two locations where I do most work on Mini vMac. And a quieter keyboard would be better for late night work at one of the locations.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade
sponsors: Mini vMac Variations activations, Andrew Johnstone
received: December 22, 2009Would allow better support of this OS version. I think it should also allow supporting a 64 bit Windows version of Mini vMac.
Living expenses for one day's programming

sponsors: ClockWise of E-Maculation
