| Dear Friend, Here is a well-known man, with his Kaypro. 
Yep, a Kaypro was one of the first personal computers, and one of its earliest advocates and users was Bill Buckley. Better known for founding the conservative movement via National Review, Bill was a certified techno geek (he helped guinea-pig GPS). Here, the apostle of the keyboard is seen at the old NR offices on 35th Street tapping away on his Kaypro 10. Back when floppy disks ruled. Our founder was a big fan of NRO. Once or twice a year, empowered by my position as publisher, I get to answer the questions "What Would Bill Do?" and "What Would Bill Want?" Answering the latter: If you were someone who parked himself every day at the all-you-can-eat bar here at NRO, he would want you to do the right thing: to make a donation to our end-of-the-year webathon, which seeks the support of NRO fans and friends to help us undertake a complete rebuild of the site. We're seeking to raise $150,000. As of today over 800 folks, God bless them, have donated about $70,000. But there are miles to go. Please turn on your moral GPS and let it guide you to the NRO donation page, which is right here. Your contribution (can you do 50 or 100? More? 250? A few good souls have even contributed 1,000!) will help make NRO a glitch-free, crash-immune, fast, tough, mobile, nimble, efficient, enjoyable, even-more-consequential website. You can also donate via PayPal, here. And viva Old Schoolers: of course, we take checks (made payable to "National Review," to 215 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10016) What would Bill do? He'd say, quite sincerely, thank you. Very much. As do I. Please help. God bless, Jack Fowler, Publisher P.S.: Consider sending someone a full-year subscription to National Review. That would be a terrific Christmas gift. You can do that right here.
