My friend, perhaps you haven't perused the ports collection enough yet. Redundancy is what it's all about.. i'd prefer the adjective "choices, choices" > I wasn't taking it personally. :-) Oh, good.

Heck, that physics exam was easy; just a bunch of E&M questions relating to Faraday's law, Gauss's law, Ampere's law, and Ohm's law. What other port submissions? As near as I can tell, the new port submissions have been piling up fast in the last 2-3 weeks. ;-) Geez, we'll have 4,000 in no time, maybe even before 4.2-RELEASE. And to think there were less than 1,500 when I first started using FreeBSD... methinks Satoshi needs to regen that "ports collection growth" graph... -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
