Hi, I was just joking however I got to admit that I haven't tought
about the 386 platforms in a couple of years --- currently
eye balling the next generation of CPUs with 64bit PCI running
at 66Mhz and of course the AGP port - the CPU will be running
at 400Mhz. Just looking forward to cool 3d and to setup 
cool video sub-systems --- my last contract involved 2 video capture
boards and for the next rev level of the system it calls for 
audio / video conferencing -- forgot to mention : the project
was for a HMD/audio system for surgeons to use and talk to other
surgeons while they watch the surgeon operate. We must certainly
can build a two video capture solution with no sweat for FreeBSD.

So we have two extremes and is not very clear to me which one
can bring in more benefit to FreeBSD. 

At any rate, both paradigm can peacefully co-exist: curses based
applications and X based applications the two need not be 
mutually exclusive.

	Cheers,
	Amancio
