Will somebody else pick up the updating of the Thinger app to keep it compatible? I am keeping a "less than 3.0" Firefox Browser just to keep the Thinger" working.

I am keeping a “less than 3.0″ Firefox Browser just to keep the Thinger” working.

I have recently gotten a new computer, upgrade from slow processor to Phenom Quad-core, and all the neat things that go with it. Even upgraded to Vista. I was so used to using the THINGER that I didn't even know it wasn't compatible with the new FireFox (which is what is on the new system) I've been going bat-sh*t crazy trying to find this add-on, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. I hope that it does get picked up by Mozilla as a feature, that would be a godsend. I could list the add-ons/plug-ins that I use daily, that I'd be willing to trade for a new usable Thinger! I was wondering, would there be any interest in the developer community to develop this? I'm even willing to set-up a donation board to fund it. Could that entice a developer, or indeed get Dave to do one more update? Besides wrongdoer's clumsy attempt at reverse psychology, the general consensus seems to be that this was too useful and helpful a tool to lose. Any takers on my donation/payment/incentive?

Congratulations for the job and admitting the facts that you have no interest and time to maintain your hobby programs. It is not easy, but you made the right decision.

I can empathize with the time pressures and your having to make a hard decision. But again, thanks for a great Thinger. (And I'm very very sorry that there are ingrates who are not appreciative like they should be.) Thanks for a great extension.
