Well. I have one copy of Windows 98 here, and that's due to the fact my
wife likes to play windows games heh. Legally paid for as part of a full
system purchase, but that's it. This machine here, my gateway, and my
webhosting box, all run Debian in some form. I can't see myself at any
stage upgrading that copy of Windows either, so no more contributions.
Personally, I don't see the need to contribute, especially now I have
Twinview with TV working on my Geforce2 in X/KDE 2 under Debian :)
