I've gotten a couple off-list replies from people indicating that =
they're willing and able to chip in towards the purchase of an M1 system =
for, as one put it "any serious OpenBSD developer [...] willing to make =
the real push on it," so long as, as another put it, it's "used for =
porting."

First, to those who wrote to me: I'm just some random schmuck posting to =

So...is there anybody out there who _is_ in such a position I can point =
these people to? Ideally, I think, somebody who already regularly =

If so, please either contact me and I'll patch through those expressing =

Cheers,
