Oh, that's sad.  I _only_ give free ones.  For a while Linus was
using the slogan "software is like sex, it's better when it's
free".  It never caught on with the business "community".

Tor-Einar Jarnbjo seems to have gotten a bit too frustrated
staying up late at night trying to get his program working.

There is a vast silent majority out here who is extremely
grateful for the work you have put into this, but does not speak
up often for fear of wasting a minute of your time, which we
would rather were spent doing some technical work.  Don't let one
whiner turn you against humanity.

I am learning much from reading what is there, and take the gaps
as a challenge to contribute.  I have not yet understood enough
to be useful, but the time spent reading code, tracking down
references, and thinking about it, was well spent because I have
learned more than I ever would from downloading a perfect
program.
