(Amancio once again turning green) if the user base starts at least asking software manufacturers for a native port of their application(s) we will not have the existing situation. If a company makes a port of their application to linux it can't be that hard to port the application to FreeBSD. FreeBSD is a good product. We just have to sell it! Amancio
