Just a quick post to mark this date: Today I bought a computer for the last person who paid for but did not receive a computer from Microworkz.com. Over the last 7 years I have bought computers each and every month to reimburse the 111 people who actually had orders from Microworkz and didn't receive machines. I was not ordered to do this, started well before the now-ended criminal case and did it just to make things right. Nobody ever accused me of taking a single penny from Microworkz.com customers or engaging in any kind of corporate fraud and regardless what was said by one reporter in Seattle, we tried to break down barriers and make things better for low-income folks. Hindsight being 20/20 I would do a lot differently and when we relaunch Microworkz.com next year I will....
Here's an email I received today from a family I reimbursed 4 months ago:

Keith I just wanted you to know how grateful I and my family are for you sending us the new HP computer. 7 years ago, I can't believe how time goes by, I thought you were the Saviour when you offered those machines at $400 when everybody else was selling them for $1500. I know you've gone through a lot for trying to reduce the price of computers and I want you to know that everyone in the United States has benefitted from your actions back then. Your standing up and sending me this machine just proved my faith I had in you back then. Never let anybody say that you are not alright and I am very glad to see you back on top!
God Bless,
Dave
