and another thing
if i can get my boxes set up this way - i will joing them in selling it
so maybe i'm not contributing much (very little in fact)
but i must spend about 1-2 hours a day on myth - fiddling; trying to get it to 
work to a level that i *could* sell it

when was the last time you paid linus?
