Would like to make a donation but!!!!

I would like to make a donation but at the moment it's only payable through Google.
I do not want to set up yet another account, could we not have Paypal added?

I had actually been considering raising some questions and suggestions regarding donations when I found this thread.
 
I went to the thread that Ramchu linked-to in the post above (which is locked for some reason) and saw that an email address was given for a PayPal account to which one can send donations for PCLOS. But the only online option I saw offered on the donations page ( http://pclinuxos.com/?page_id=7 ) was to purchase PASS access for a minimum of $25.00 via Google checkout. I found no mention of PayPal there, let alone a link or button. 

And while $25.00 certainly seems more than reasonable for PASS access, what about those who might wish to merely make a donation of a lesser amount?

Wouldn't it only make sense to put both PayPal as well as a Google Checkout Donate buttons/links on at least the home pages of both the forum as well as the main site?

From what I have seen, PayPal is far more commonly used than Google Checkout- at least when it comes to donations.

Also, where you give the postal address for sending checks and money orders, and say, 

Please include your email address so we will know who to send PASS access information.

wouldn't it be a good idea to add that donations of any amount are also welcome?
 
Perhaps there is something I'm missing here; maybe the powers-that-be have their reasons for having it the way it is now. It seems to me, however, as if implementing my suggestions could only increase the number of donations received. I hope no offense will be taken at this post. I only mean to be helpful.

I've been without a job for two years, and really don't need PASS access.  I think this is a worthy suggestion.  As I could drop a fiver here and there, but $25 is a little steep for me now.

Those who wish to help with a donation will do so. Everyone else will just talk about it.

With the link to Linuxera, I was able to drop a fiver, thanks Linuxera, and thanks OP for starting the thread.
