If it makes you feel poorly, you can send me the second Debian QIC-80
tape or CD-ROM if I ever get one.

Make certain that *you* keep FULL control over Debian. The FSF is
notorious for trying to control developers -- developers who aren't
being paid.
I'll wait to mail the check until you have a PO Box. Especially since
I didn't really mail it today (I was going to ask you for your email
address, but nobody's perfect. Esp. if I can deduct it. :-)
Are you going to release a 0.91 -> 0.92 patch or the like?
Okay, I admit it, I was in an odd mood. I usually don't get so
emotional... :-)
Just to warn you, even with a 14.4k, you will still want to go to the
lab at times. It is too slow for mass stuff. SLIP is also very
buggy.
