I use Wikipedia several times a day.  I can't imagine living without it.

And, after you're done (I did), check out this xkcd comic.

Citogenesis (http://xkcd.com/978/).

Brilliant.

i give 5 dollars a year...

somehow i bet i'm not the only person that wouldn't mind seeing a few ads rather than seeing jimmy wales's mug begging for handout this time every year though.

they wouldn't need many ads... i bet if they just put an ad where they are asking for a handout, they could raise the money just as easily in a few weeks.

just my .02
