    Actually, it’s a big OVAL orange button (heh!)... and when I clicked on 
    it, it goes directly to a Gallium bounty donation page.  How do you 
    donate to fund the servers, specifically?  The interesting thing is, it 
    costs about US$600 (as I recall, Euros are worth slightly more than US 
    dollars, so I’m rounding up the dollar amount) per year to fund the 
    servers.  How many people use and believe in Haiku?  If it were 600 
    people, it would only cost $1 ea.  Say, it were only 300 people... 
    that’s $2 ea.  Say it was only 150 people... that’s $3 ea.  Only 75 
    people?  A whopping $4 ea. And, if it were... *gasp!* just 37.5 
    people... we’d each have to fork over $5 ea. 


  ... or 0.5859375 people just $11 each? Somewhere in that paragraph your 
  math was abducted and replaced by a dyscalculic doppelganger. Or maybe 
  slicing people just thinly enough indeed yields a greater total than 
  expected. ;-)

Please, don't blame Luposian so roughly. He is just "yet another victim" of the 
Pentium's FPU bug !

AHAHAHAHAHA!  That’s a good one.  But... oh, wait, I am using a Pentium-based 
laptop.  A modern Pentium (Dual core), but still a Pentium.  And I’m running 
Windows 8!  That’s gotta be it.  If I was running Haiku, that would’ve 
prevented this whole thing!  Um... how do you get Haiku to run on a Windows 8 
laptop, with a uEFI BIOS?  Tell me, please!
