OK, I'll give it a shot: "FreeBSD: Strong, Stable, Smart" "FreeBSD: Power-Up your PC" "FreeBSD: Proven to Perform" "FreeBSD: The power to Serve" "FreeBSD: Stability. Flexibility. Power." "FreeBSD: Make it yours..." and then the silly ones: "FreeBSD: Powering more of the Internet than you thought" "FreeBSD: Why the hell would you want NT, anyway?" "FreeBSD: Resurrecting more 486's everyday" Yow, so that's how it feels to work in marketing. Ouch. Charles On Thu, 30 Oct 1997, Jordan K.
