I think that cuts both ways. ;-) In any case, you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to note in return that people like you are exactly why Bill is where he is today. With a contemptuous disregard for real-world issues such as these, you would happily lead us all down the road to dissolution if there weren't a few voices of reason to offset your myopic and wholly naive mindset. It's a pity that your ilk dominated UNIX in the early days or we might not be facing the Microsoft juggernaut today - I do indeed hold you completely responsible for that. > Ummm, are these the FreeBSD Web pages or the Jordan K.

As PR officer, it's mine to attract more people and I don't expect you to tell me how to do my job, either. Thanks for your input and next customer, please. Jordan
