can you give examples? I work with Pd, sibelius, reaper, ...

I never talked about price about free software, don't know where you got  
that. Can you be more precise?

I think all software should be of good quality. When I spend X hours  
trying to work with an OS and I get nothing done, that's a criteria for me  
to leave that os and go to an other where I can produce something, not  
just be solving problems all the time. but that's my decision.

Since you speak of contributing, you can go back read my e-mail. I've  
given a donation to Hans for his work on Pd-ext (nothing fancy), and also  
bought the hard disk where the windows builds on the compile farm are  
stored. Besides that, I've spent lots of time helping with documentation  
(go back to read my mail). So, we agree on this.
