I have no love lost for MS either; I just feel this is not the correct action by the gov't. We need to get to the root, which this attempt blatantly misses. > Sorry to take it out on you but, nothing personal.

As long as it is directed at my philosophy and not me as in individual, not harm done. I am always up for a good fight; I just don't like being called a troll because I hold a different opinion. As I alluded to, I fully expected severe criticism. I am not offended, and I do appreciate that consideration. > However, I may wish to talk to you about purchasing some computer hardware at > very competitive prices. That's for serious, and that's econ 101. Let me know what I can do. I am happy to be of any assistance. Hardware is much more my forte' than economics! :) Take Care, Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
