Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

MORE NEWS on Netmanage Chameleon, the Internet connectivity package for Windows. When I first got hold of it, what struck me was how beautiful and elegant it seemed. Now what I notice is that it does not work. The greatest problem is with E-mail: almost every time I receive a message on it, the mail program crashes, losing the message.

Imagine if someone sold a mailbox that exploded every time you pushed a letter through the flap - well, not every time; I have managed to receive four letters safely in a week of trying.

Netmanage Chameleon is a bit like that, except that its list price is pounds 395 (excluding VAT). Isn't the computer industry wonderful?

No doubt there will be some simple solution to this problem, known to the support staff at Netmanage. But since they do not answer E-mail - and since I do not feel like ringing California - it is difficult to know what to do.
