When rumors were floating around that SUNW^WJAVA was about to open source Java, there were those who didn't believe it, those who would believe it when they see it, and those who believed it's just a matter of time. I've always been in the third camp, and it turned out that I was right.

Similar rumors floated around for a long time, that AMD/ATI was going to open source their graphics card drivers. I knew it would happen, and it's just a matter of time. So when AMD/ATI announced they are going to open up the spec to their radeon line of hardware, and have a 2D open source driver out by year end, I immediately purchased the best radeon card that has stable open source driver, the radeon 9250.

Just to put my money where my mouth is.
