Dear Puffy,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately.  I've been working out of town so 
I've had lots of time to think.  I think about you when I connect my laptop in 
a hotel.  I don't know what the guy in the next room has on his laptop, but I 
know that he has difficulty setting his alarm clock (I hear him swearing at 
5:00 am when it goes off) so I doubt if he's very technically sophisticated and 
his laptop is probably full of evil software.  But PF protects me so I can 
connect and not worry about him.

When I pick up my suitcase at the airport I think of you.  You see I put an 
OpenSSH sticker above the RSA lock.  When I see it I enjoy the irony because I 
know that unlike the RSA lock there are no backdoors in OpenSSH to allow the 
government to spy on me.

When I go to a client site they're always using Putty and I know that Puffy and 
OpenSSH are lurking in background.  The client may not be aware of it, or when 
they are aware, acknowledge it (hello IBM) but you are *always* there providing 
security.  

When I wanted to see the photos that my wife took of our grandson I connected 
to my OpenBSD server at home and  SCP'd the cutest pictures in the world.   All 
because of you Puffy.

I thought I should give you a little Valentine's Day present to acknowledge all 
your help.  So I went to http://openbsd.org/donations.html and donated $100 for 
you use any way you want.

Happy Valentine's Day!  Thanks for giving me that feeling of security.

Tim Boettcher
