Have been wondering if it would be A Good Thing to demonstrate our sense of humor and add some letters to FreeBSD's name. Call it, "FreeBSD OT" or because Microsoft was unable to trademark Windows we could subtitle FreeBSD, "Windows OT". The OT could stand for Old Technology, Open Technology, or lots of other things. Everybody has brainstormed new and more appropriate definitions for NT at one time or another... :-) -- 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.
