[SMTP:billieakay@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, September 05, 1999 6:07 PM To: Chris; FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: IE for FreeBSD Hi, Here's a copy of the message that I send to Microsoft under product suggestions: ------Begin copy------ Hello, I am a user of a BSD UNIX operating system called FreeBSD. (Information on FreeBSD is available at www.freebsd.org) I and some other of my fellow FreeBSD users would like to see a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 or greater) for our OS. A thing to note is that FreeBSD has support to execute Linux binaries. Currently, the only decent modern browser for our system is Netscape Communicator which to some of us is a second choice for a browser even when we are running Windows. Unlike some UNIX system users, I respect Microsoft and I am very much impressed to see that IE had been ported to UNIX (A competing platform) in the first place. I would appreciate some feedback on my request. Thanks Bill billieakay@yahoo.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
