My donation ends where their disrespect for human freedom begins. (Over=20 a decade ago, back on MS, I used to run distributed.net. However, they=20 don't have a freedomware client, or at least didn't back then, and while=20 I understand the reasons why -- someone cheating and saying they did the=20 work when they didn't, just to get the stats -- that didn't change the=20 fact that I wasn't going to run servantware. But as they say, YMMV.) --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master." Richard Stallman
