Excellent job! And, about the paypal donation idea: Why not? I'll be more than happy to make a donation within the limitations of my budget. It's a great product, makes my life as a network admin much easier, and I'd like to encourage the team to continue the excellent work. In general I am much more willing to support a product that has proven to be useful to me than paying up front for something that I may or may not like. Open Source is a wonderful idea, and if someone wants to express their appreciation in a materialistic way - nothing wrong with that. You guys have to pay your bills, too - I'm sure ;-) A few weeks ago I helped someone rescueing whatever data possible of her virus-infected laptop. She was so impressed that I was using only Open Source tools (a bootable Linux CD) to save her precious digital possessions that she asked me what she could do to express her gratitude. I asked her to make a donation to the Free Software Foundation which she happily did. (I know, somewhat off-topic, just wanted to show this example that Open Source is appreciated not only by us geeks.) -- Thomas Klettke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
