Stefan Succeeds!
College Student Is Able To Buy A Mac From Internet Donations

In just less than a month after setting up his blog, Stefan Constantinescu was actually able to raise the needed funds to buy himself a brand new 20" iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, all from the donations of complete strangers. I must say, this guy is really fortunate. He marketed his blog pretty well, and was certainly able to get the word out to a large number of people. I think it definitely helped that his blog turned out to be a bit controversial, and was able to elicit a lot of strong reactions from different people (some people rooted for him, while others criticized him for his "virtual" panhandling). It even had a bit of drama, and one big surprise (like a reality TV show twist) - someone actually gave him a single donation amounting to $1,195 USD! Can you believe that?! What a strange place this internet is, eh?
