Hmmh Theo,

but then why do you accept bugreports, for bugs you don't experience on 
your hardware, if you would do it ONLY for yourself ?

2. Wouldn't you agree that getting support in the way of donations, or 
selling the CD's does help you ? And if only a very few buy the CD's and 
of course no one donate's anything because your product is not of 
Interest for the others, that this doesn't disturb you ?
