I have no problem with you or anyone else running nouveau. None at all. |

I do have a problem with someone saying 'it's time for everyone to |
| 22 |
give up nvidia-drivers' without demonstrating they know the full |

| 25 |
consider running nouveau' I wouldn't have even chimed in. |

And thanks for running boinc. It's good of you and good for you. |
