I was wondering if I could interview someone for the site. All correspondents will be done through email to make it easier on the all of us. These questions will be published on PC Perspective . I would like to thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I really appreciate the work you do to provide such a great product. The questions I have are as follows: 1. How do you feel hardware support is on your current platform/s and what are your plans for the future? 2. What could be better about hardware support? What do you need from manufacturers? 3. How do you think performance in FreeBSD compares to Linux, Windows or Mac OS X? How could it be better? 4. Do you consider FreeBSD to be a viable gaming platform? If so, why are there so few games? 5. What are your plans for the future of this platform? What is new and up-coming? Again, thank you for your time. I will email this group when the article is posted. Thank you. -- John R Davis Jr
