[mdlug] A Thank You

[Rich Clark <rrclark@rrclark.net>]

I caught wind of this on Groklaw this afternoon and thought it important 
enough to share, since many of you I'd want to thank for everything that 
I've ever learned about Linux since associating with MDLUG some 8 or 9 
years ago. Why reinvent the wheel?

This post is for all of you out there who have developed or contributed to 
Linux/Ubuntu projects and all of the open source coders who read this.  I 
do not know where to send a post like this so I hope this one email will 
find its way in the sea of posts out there.

I thank you to the point of tears.

Earlier this week I installed Kubuntu on a refurbished AMD computer I 
purchased for $184 from a discount online vendor, it came with no OS. It 
now runs like a champ.

We cant afford much and this was my 14 year old daughter's birthday 
present this past week. She is overjoyed. And she is already trying to 
tackle Adept Manager and exploring Linux; adding bling and her music, of 
course.

I cant tell you how much I appreciate the work you all have done. Its a 
work of art. If I could thank each and every one of you I would.

You have given her the world to learn and explore.

So if you get frustrated or tired in your work for Open Source/Free 
Software, just remember that somewhere in Missouri there is a 14 year-old 
girl named Hope, an A-student who runs on the track team, who is now your 
biggest fan and one of the newest users of Linux/Ubuntu.

Thanks most sincerely,

R.B.A.
Missouri
