[...] In Desmond's defense, I'd say that playing and relentlessly trying to breathe a life into those old machines and make them run FreeBSD helps the Project to build nice and more stable system overall. While he probably could have had more luck if he had switched to NetBSD or GNU/Linux, I guess we owe him something for being so keen on running FreeBSD. That keenness deserves him some help if/when we here (that is, on this list) can provide. ./danfe
