I saw the first bid go up - GBP5. I chuckled, then saw the "reserve not yet
met", and pondered idly as to how high it would go.

It reached several thousand within 30 minutes, and still didn't reach it. I
reached a certain point of annoyance and closed the browser window then ;)

Unsure, but are these the "hidden costs" that are involved in Linux that we're
so frequently reminded of in FUD?
