When I started using OpenBSD I was middle-aged and largely

computer illiterate (I have never had a computer that runs

Windows, and probably I will never learn how to use a word

processor or a spreadsheet).  I can't swear to it,  but I

don't think I have asked for technical help on misc@; the

man pages and the FAQ helped to resolve every difficulty I

can recall having encountered.  (Caveat:  Perhaps I have

modest needs; also, I have a little patience and I like to

read.)
The price of the CD sets is a fair bit of money for me.

Most often I am unable to use them because the CD drives

seem to have been among the first things to die in the

sparc64 machines that get thrown out (or sold on eBay for

~$100) and land on my bedroom floor.  So I rely (almost)

exclusively on the FTP services.  But I have purchased

every release since I've started using OpenBSD, and every

time I think it is a bargain.  I expect that I will never

be in a financial position to compensate you fairly.
Thank you.
