Thanks, everyone, for explaining the meaning of FUD, and its history. Hmmm... Fear, uncertainty, doubt. Seems like those methods have been around for centuries. I am surprised that Merriam-Webster has not picked it up yet (I am talking about their *online* dictionary which is supposed to check their entire database). At any rate, now I have a better word to scream whenever I see the Dell (I think it's Dell) TV commercial in which they show you several computers and say something like "this one looks apetizing, but does it come with a free color printer?" I've been saying "Oh, please!", "Give me a break!" (and some more expletive words). Now I can just say "FUD!" :) Cheers, Adam -- Can you imagine the silence if everyone said only what he knows! -- Karel Čapek To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
