That's because you use Sparc and not Alpha :-)  And you'd know that if
you showed up for Akihabara staggers.

I also think that it is unfair to neglect TL's historical role in
commercializing I18N for Linux.  Although this doesn't bear directly
on Linux kernel and admin utility development, it is a sensible
business model.  In such a case, why not use other's work for the core
system?  That's what open source is all about!

This is not to defend some of the real boners TL has committed (such
as the /usr/jp hierarchy and the proprietary cluster fiasco).  Just to
point out that there are more ways to contribute to the community than
core software development.
