Totally unrelated, but just briefly to say, thanks for your work with Cygnus.

I doubt I'd have been able to build a career for myself in software engineering without Cygwin being available and lively back in the days when I was required to use Windows fulltime, and along with that I learned a lot from working with it that's been of great help to me ever since. And I'm to this day running Cygwin on the one Windows box I still maintain!

So, thanks for whatever hand you had in that. If you ever find yourself in Baltimore and thirsty, hit me up and I'll buy you that beer or other suitable beverage I owe you. :D
