[BLU/Officers] Donations to the BLU

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Recently one of the members of vhfcn suggested I get a PayPal account so
members can make donations. JABR set one up a few years ago so he could
buy stuff. Since I made that announcement on vhfcn we've already
received several donations. The guys on that list were talking about
buying the BLU a new server. Personally we currently have 3 fully
functional servers, (Pegasus, Vranix, and the one John and Ron gave us).
Personally I would not mind spending some money to buy a low cost NAS to
use as a backup server. Advantage is that we can take frequent snapshots
using rsnapshot or some other similar backup. The WD MyBook is a
reasonably decent system for a backup device but it is very, very slow.
While I like having an offsite, the past 2 server failures also had
backup failures.
