I found that FreeBSD was not taken so I sent my check into the Sec. of State. I received a call from them this morning asking what did "FreeBSD" mean. I explained that it dealt with computers (older lady). They told me that they were rejecting my request. They then explained that they were rejecting it because "FreeBSD" could be thought to mean "Free Base". Bummed. Ray PS. Know where I can get some bumper stickers???????
