I have.  Openbsd has considered if not already added broadcom to the
their lobby list.  As of right not I have been in contact with my old
comp prof to evaluate how to proceed.

Maybe I should have written,"American human/computer experience" or the
"quality of Amercan ppc computer experience".

OT?  The  off topic stuff is a pedagogical device to make demonstrate
the similarity between the ethnocentrism of assuming broadcom's global
product, airport extreme, is catering to the US and American tourists
presuming that the FDA holds world jurisdiction.  It's called an
analogy.  

Ultimately if airport extreme is a ppc product, then airport extreme is
on topic.

Finally it was me who set the topic, as I started this message tree.
