I will consider your suggestion for a donation button to a favorite charity. Up until now I have shied away from the donation button because I really don't want to give anyone the impression that if they donate money to LMT I'll personally answer their support questions. (I spend enough of my spare time working on my own websites and writing tutorials for MT to use up anymore time with providing free support.) Right now on the top of each tutorial there are links for people to access Amazon for their holiday shopping, so that's a nice indirect way to say thank you to the LMT authors. Cheers, Elise Hi Kathleen,

Hi Jess,

It’s a matter of community; your dictionary was apparently not written by hackers. In this , Eric Raymond (a confirmed hacker) says:

It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe oneself that way.

How to become a hacker from the same source.

The wikipedia entry includes a brief discussion of hacking and Asperger’s Syndrome.

I blame Hollywood for the misuse of the term.

The dictionary says: "One who uses programming skills to gain illegal access to a computer network or file." Developer sounds better to me. Hacker still seems like an ugly word to me.
