Hi Stephen!

We had a lot of donated 486 machines, and XP was already out. ME would not
have run on those machines but 95 would. They wanted us to send them $40,000
and they weren't that nice about it - BSA lawyer letters and all that.

Well, we did NOT send them $40 G and now I primarily use Linux.
