Does anyone know how Steve Jobs contributes to the Kerry campaign, besides giving money?

My guess is that he smarted out the Bush guys by advising not to host the Kerry site on a Micro$oft platforms. The GeorgeWBush.com site got swamped by hackers, I read.

I know you said "except for money", but I was curious, so I searched OpenSecrets.org.
Well, Steve himself only gave once, $1,000 to a Chicago representative who won his 2002 election with 67% of the vote. Not sure what that donation was for.

His wife Laurene, on the other hand, controls the political purse strings in the family. $50,000 over the past two years, including $22,000 to the DSCC, $500 to Jim Jeffords, $1000 to Howard Dean, and $2000 to Kerry.
