That's a terrifically *bad* way to reward a company. That's like saying
I don't like your software, but here, take my money anyways and continue
making poor executive decisions, and software.. That's like staying in a
bad relationship with someone when you know everything about them except
their physical appearance is incompatible with you..

Also, tomato runs on more than just Linksys.
