Good, because I have a Walnut Creek Poster here that has the largest red letters ``FreeBSD (TM)'' on it that had me worried a little about legality. [Thanks for the way cool poster!!! It will go into the Accurate Automation reception area just as soon as I move the assembly area from there to it's final resting home!] And now that someone holds this tradmark how can I license the use of it for 2 things: a) the sign that will go over the ``FreeBSD Test Lab'' and b) use in Accurate Automations case logo insert (been waiting for this to happen so I can go design one and not worry about the legal effects). I assume a) is a given since it is officially part of the FreeBSD project, b) is a stickier question and raises conflict of interest questions in my mind :-(. I also love the logo ``Turning PC's into Workstations''!!!! I was thinking of something like ``FreeBSD(tm) Workstation by Accurate Automation'' for my insert, but there ain't enough space for it unless I made the type so small you couldn't read it :-(. I only have 1 square inch to work in. > > > Your welcome!

I would like to repriortize that first $5k (or just the first $1200) to purchase 2 badly needed things for Freefall, a 16GByte DAT drive, and a 535MB cvs repository disk (we need to get the repository on it's own spindle to reduce head contention on freefall in a really bad way!!!). I will sell both items at cost (makeing it well below the $1200 sales number above) to the project. If I had not just layed out $5k for this move I would have donated the disk drive already as the time it would have saved me those 2 weekends of tag operations would have payed for it! > > Gee, it may have taken us 2 years, but in another year or so we may > even be doing half the things the real software development projects > do! :-) :-) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
