I'd just like to point out that no Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. funds went 
to the purchase of my PowerBook (which has been a big help in browser 
compatibility testing, and I've fixed a number of icky wiki bugs during 
my commute thanks to having it!)

Rather, I have a separate personal donation page (predating the 
Wikimedia fund drive, I think) through which a number of very kind 
people have kicked in a few bucks now and then, including a generous 
personal donation by Jimbo. (Thanks again to all who helped!) I haven't 
taken any wiki-related money that wasn't sent directly to me by the donor.
