I must have a cool SMP in order to support tera bytes libraries, 
how else will I drive giganets with PCs, Cool if we get funding
we can drive Internet II , etc...

I know that there is money flowing around we need a couple of 
guys that know they way around Washington to get the money. 
Incidently,  FreeBSD goverment backing is not restricted to the US 8)

	Cheers,
	Amancio
