The software is a = network game (sims like) to use it as an education tool schools. This is f= or kids to create communities and use simulated life situations integrated = with school educational standards. This will enable children to use this to= gain experience in life sitations at the same time use the eductional stan= dards as a tool to win the game (such a buy groceries and even ethical situ= ations). This project is a 100% donation from our company and we are curre= ntly trying to submit a proposal to apple. We are evaluating whether to go= in that direction or use the current hardware 386 (cheaper) computers and = use the FreeBSD OS for this project. We ar in need of software company's w= ith Sims like compatible to FreeBSD (opensource) that we can use so we don'= t have to re-invent the wheel. I was wondering if we can visit your orgina= ztion and get some training in your system and also to get your permission = to use FreeBSD. It is not going to be used to make money just for use to p= rove a point that a small company like ours can make a difference. We need= as much help as possible considering we are a garage IT/development compan= y with 10 people. Our website is www. x3consulting.com and is currently being update. Thank you for considering this and hopefully can get in contact with you so= on. VP/Chief Technology Officer Dino F. Ornido x3 consulting (650) 244-0770
