So, how much do they cost ? > do we have a strong-arm version of FreeBSD coming up? :-) I guess that would be a "No". Wasn't someone writing ARMbsd or RISCbsd or something.. did he die or did Intel pay him to stop or something ? [It still amazes me that there are so many better options than Intel and no-one ever uses them, writing ARM is a damn sight easier than 80x86 code yet no-one ever writes for what seems to be a cheaper and far superior chipset.Please excuse my ranting, but I find this overmonopolised (sp?) industry this somewhat depressing.] Steve Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
