I have a question, does he get any repeat business or is everyone trying to
dump his hardware and invest in some high-end "criscos"?

| But have you ever *used* his products? I agree he isn't always sunshine
| and is frequently condescending, but his products *really* work on
FreeBSD
| and he has a technical clue. He might do well to hire a 'handler' for
some

| what I've seen. Some of them swear at him, then things go downhill...
|
| Like everyone else, I'm going to ask why this is getting started on this
| list again and that we move on to something else... Thanks - Jy@
