<div>What the hell?! Dude, Chuck is a long time member here, I know him personally, and have actually tried to recruit him multiple times to work in my office. You are ranting like a madman. I suggest you check you meds, and unsubscribe the list if you cannot
be civilized. Multiple people here can vouch for him, and his contributions to the list, and open source in general. </div>

<div class="PlainText">Yeah, this is a problem. I'm using my Real Name here, and I've never<br>
sold anything on any lists. But there is the small detail that I helped<br>
bring open source into NASA, and then Sandia National Lab.<br>

So...<br>
<br>
I note here for the record on this list that you are not defending this<br>
stupid behavior; you are simply defending his known to you character.<br>
<br>
Ok, fine.<br>
<br>
Should I repeat myself? I would be appreciative of this thing called<br>
'text' was the protocol used as an answer to:<br>
<br>
I want to have a valid Windows 10 Pro installation on top<br>
of QEMU. I got the image. Does anyone have any idea<br>
how to buy a valid product key? A long time on the<br>
M$ site, including finally giving up my phone number,<br>
failed. Can't buy a Windows 10 Pro Product Key<br>
<br>
I bought one off Amazon about 5 years ago and MS<br>
eventually called me a license violator or somesuch,<br>
every single time. Never violated the license so<br>
the key vendor was probably grey.<br>
<br>
What does one do, these days? I have a small office<br>
device with W10 on it and it works, I guess keep<br>
buying them?<br>
<br>
In olden tymes, I just ran a virtual machine and put<br>
in a valid Winsucks key on many versions of FreeBSDand Linux.<br>
<br>
I'm flummoxed.<br>

FreeBSD since 1996. Linux since 1996. Yeah, we actually<br>
build some shit, motherfuckers.<br>
