So if the Linux counter is correct and there are 29M Linux users, it means
each share is worth about $500M. Do we get one share for each Linux install
we have? Gads, I'm bloody rich at last, I can afford an Apple Mac. oops,
sorry I mean a bigger Linux box, a few IBM blades scattered around, some as
computers others as coffee tables, I'll turn my garage into a cooling tower
for my Cray, oh and I'll change the dodgy wheel on my car.
