Got my email, filled out my refund information. Saw no notice of a tablet being shipped, no surprise.

I did not choose to make a "donation" for a couple reasons.

1. The selfish reason: Jolla is a for-profit enterprise and not a recognized charity so I don't get an income tax reduction for the contribution. (Maybe that's two reasons.)

2. When I do make a donation -- that is giving money with no expectation of anything in return -- I already have a list of charities to which I regularly contribute and if I felt the need to donate around $250, I would have sent it to one of them.

I still hope Jolla survives and thrives. And I certainly don't want to sound like I'm making any kind of judgement of those who do decide to donate their contribution. I absolutely respect that decision (as if anyone needs my approval to do what they want).
