I read your comment history... something about TRS-80s. So probably older than 40 and American. I am truly amazed that someone could live that long with economic means to post here and not know what a bank wire is! Just google it though. It

Not a great idea. Upvotes don't really tell you shit about testing, quality, or trust. I mean how many votes does acroread have (hint: a lot). The votes is merely to give arch some idea of how popular an AUR package is so that it can b
