- Not sure if I said this before, but I am one of these people. I have a
- big problem spending money on software in the first place, and even more
- so on pre-production stuff. Once a Linux svgalib production level
- version is out, I have no problem spending $50 (ed discount or
- whatever), but if it costs much more than that, I probably would try to
- get it pirated or buy one copy and split it between 2 or 3 of my
- buddies.
