How spoiled you third world people are!
I apreciate with tears in my eyes every time I find something FREE. And I
don't even dare to expect it to be... lets not even say good, lets say
"usable". So finding such a piece of art as Minivend is for free, was a real
delight.
Do you find every day free-good-quality stuff on your path? Lucky you! Then
you have the full right to complain for the lack of documentation.

As that is not my case, Im happy as a clam with the avaliable info, and even
happier I found this list. I've got so far (less than 1 week in the list,
less than 1 month configuring minivend) the answers of all my questions
here, without even asking, so I can witness it's a very helpful list.
Of course there are "wise guys" who want to make money for their own with
the knowledge they earned (either by their own sweat or getting it from this
very list!) of a shared software. But that kind of people is all over the
planet (and beyond). Can't get rid of them. We'll be charged of murder
(pity).
So the ones who belive that sharing knowledge will help others and ourselves
as well, lets keep on it. If I'm able to answer a question, I will. Its my
humble way of paying for what I've got.

Sorry, I didn't mean this mail be sooooooooooooooooo loooooooooong!
