NVidia cards are all I buy now, have 3 or 4 right now ... don't the cards
have some sort of serial number? is there any way of using that to
provide a pseudo-petition list ... maybe our new benefactors could talk to
NVidia themselves, get nVidia to setup a nonline 'registration form' that
we could all connect to and submit our serial numbers, to give them a feel
for number of FreeBSD'rs out here?
