It should really be: . You see, it's an email, not a name (I think) ;) One sunny evening my passionate word hit a node in the transmission line, and an echo was born, and thus it spake: > > Few small things have changed since the time of that article, but > > the ideas there still seem to be up-to-date (and hopefully will stay > > that way). then came the data: > The whole point of focusing on ideas rather than details is so it > [hopefully] /will/ stay up to date, without having to go update it > every other week when one OS develops something new or duplicates > something old. Laziness is a virtue. 8-} This may _very_ well be the case, except what I was referring to when saying "hopefully will stay that way" was the FreeBSD OS, not the article. Ambiguity is a gripe ;-P [SorAlx] ridin' VS1400
