''a note from the developer...''
I rely on your donations to allow me to buy the software that I need to continue improving Cumulus. 100% of any donation received goes towards software development, either towards the cost of new development tools or the cost of hosting this site. We don’t make a profit from Sandaysoft - I have a full-time job and Sandaysoft is what we do in our spare time.
