- Just a quick note to say "THANKS" to everybody - today I was able to
- finally pay off my computer using money collected by hpa (Peter Anvin)
- from various people. The collection brought in USD $750, and together
- with some other donations (including a fim 1000 EuroCheque) I was able
- to pay the final rate today. I'd also like to thank everybody else who
- has sent me either money or any other encouragement (ranging from
- postacards and T-shirts (!) to beer-money and actual beer).
-
- I'm not making a "hall of fame" of people who have paid me money: I
- might forget somebody (who'd hate me for the rest of his life), and
- anyway, contributions in the form of patches/bug-reports etc have been
- at least as valuable (and I haven't kept track of those either. Shame
- on me). You know who you are,
-
- thanks,
- Linus
