Hear hear. "Performance Computing" AKA "NT Review" is now an entirely worthless publication for the Unix enthusiast and goes straight into my trashcan when it arrives. And yes, on every single issue they beg me to "Renew! Renew!" while I'm meanwhile trying to figure out how to get them to "Stop! Stop!" sending this tree-killing wastage to me at all. I figured they'd lose patience over 8 months ago, when I last decided I was never, ever going to resubscribe again, but they just keep sending the damn things like junk mail. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
