Honestly, you should have just bought the magazine.

I was just thinking of the GNU/Linux/OSS-related items for which I've 
paid.  Linux Journal (one and two year subscriptions), Linux Magazine 
(for a short time), some books, and the Revolution OS DVD.  Oh, and a 
few $1 donations in exchange for burned CDs at CHLUG meetings.  I 
wouldn't mind having a nice T-shirt.  I've thought about paying for a 
distro, but I never have.  This doesn't really count, but a big benefit 
of paying for a cable modem is the ability to quickly download large 
amounts of OSS.
