My family and fiends have ask me how much does it really cost you to make these video turorials. My anwser to them and you is this; it does cost a lot of money to run this web site. I look for help with my family, friends and customers to keep this web site running.
I am going to show you the expenses I have, so you have an ideal of what it cost me to run this web site and equipment. Your donations will help this web site continue with new updated programs.
Aquiring the new programs when they come available - this cost varies greatly and I have a total of over $23,000 + invested in computer equipment and programs. Rasing the funds for updates and new programs are expensive and your support will keep abcvideorequest alive and powerful.

This is a short list of the long version I have. I do believe you get the picture and just think, my computer is built to handle all of these programs. The cost of my computer components exceeds $6500.00 but I saved a lot of money because I built it; otherwise it would have been closer to $10500.00.
As you can see the cost is high but I do enjoy what I am doing, so if you are able to donate anything at all; it will go to the funding of equipment and programs.
