Clearly a new line of product for FreeBSDMall: A coffee cup with the proper shape on the bottom to hook into the opening in the CD tray so that the door *can't* close. Also a line of stickers saying, "Cupholder. Use only Geniune BSDi Cups." that we can place on the cupholder door. IMHO this "cupholder" was really designed for ice cream cones. We can only conclude Beastie likes ice cream better than coffee. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
