Ruben,
I am speechless! I'll need some time to absorb the magnitude of this
before I attempt to put my feelings into words.

" NYLXS ahs officially recieved 501.c status as a tax expemt educational
" non-profit from the Internal Revenue Service this past week. As a result,
" the Organization is now poised to move forward with a number of important
" projects which were held up.
"
" But before I get into those projects, which are better explained by Paul Marino
" and Michael Richardson, I want to take this good news to make a formal
" capital pledge to NYLXS.
"
" I'm donated $10,000 to NYLXS which will be distributed to the board in the
" following manner, with approval of the NYLXS Board of Directors.
"
" First, I'm donated as discressionary funds a total of $500 per month from
" February, 2004 to January, 2005, no strings attached.
"
" In addition, I'm donated $2000 in a lump sum, to be paid before the first week
" of March for legal fees and administrative expenses relating to corperate
" issues or accounting.
"
" Finally, I'm donated a lump sum of $2000 to be paid to NYLXS before April 1st,
" 2004 as seed money for any single NYLXS project in which the board approves.
" This funding can be used for the NYLXS education center, the library,
" equiptment for a specific project, as long as the money is used in one
" lump some.
"
" I hope that this gives everyone coming to the NYLXS retreat in Lake Placid
" a reason to open a bottle of Brandy and make some warm cheers. And I hope
" that this also encourages others to make needed donations to NYLXS so that
" it can continue to meeting it's mission.
"

"Yes, Your Honor. Now, where we are so far, in at least my
line of reasoning, is I want to walk the Court through enough of our
complaint to help the Court understand that IBM clearly did contribute a
lot of the Unix-related information into Linux. We just don't know what
it is."
