I just though I'd give this a try and see what came out. This is just text. Imagine if we take Blender, combine this with cool graphics, make it a movie .. well, any graphics/animation gurus out there? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= So, now that you are on the web, surfing around... Do you ever wonder WHAT makes it run? Ever wonder WHY or HOW is this all possible? Do you use Yahoo! or Hotmail and think "Boy, these web sites must be running mainfraimes the size of my room". Well, not quite. You see, some smart people got together and created an operating system. Operating system for the masses, for you and me. They wanted the Operating system to be free and source code to be free so anyone could use it and learn from it. So start-ups like Yahoo! and Hotmail could use it and not worry about the IT budget or if they would have enough room for that large mainframe. So people like you and me could use it and not depend on the next service pack to get bugs and problems fixed. Next time you visit Yahoo! or Hotmail - keep in mind, it runs FreeBSD. And also keep in mind you can be running this same OS on your computer. For free. Go to www.FreeBSD.org for more information. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- Yan Jan Koum jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark."
