well, i already have a nice system (386/33 8MB ram, 2x80MB,
1x600MB disk etc). i have a 300MB filesystem for sources
which is 96% full. that means i'll have to buy another disk
soon, or start to remove valuable sources. since i'm a student
i can not afford another big disk, so i had to make a move.

i now have an 'arrangement' with the FSF, and Len Tower said
he'd post the (now corrected) order form. the bottom line is
that all 'profits' will go into more diskspace etc or donations
to the FSF.
