Yep. What's next? "This morning Intel Corp. and FreeBSD Inc. announced
their intentions to merge. Jordan K. Hubbard, President and CEO of
FreeBSD, said ``This is a good deal for Intel, it brings them software
engineering expertise they've never had before. The best part is now
I've got a couple million in my pocket, though.'' Andy Grove, President
of Intel, commented ``Don't bother me, I'm busy writing a FreeBSD device
driver for my Intel videoconferencing equipment. I've installed FreeBSD
on my computer and don't want to boot Virus95 in order to call in my
lunch order.''" Yeah, right. ;^)
