Summary: finally paid off my computer Message-ID: <1992Nov5.094730.28084@klaava.Helsinki.FI> Date: 5 Nov 92 09:47:30 GMT Organization: University of Helsinki Lines: 16 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
