No kidding! C'mon, all you native writers of english out there, we're being completely shown up by jp.freebsd.org here, and they probably did more in the 4th quarter of 1996 than we did for the entire year! :-) I think it's time for us to get off the stick, eh guys? :) I will commit here and now to having an article in at least one well-known english language publication before Q2 of '97. I've also already committed to helping Walnut Creek CDROM publish a regular FreeBSD newsletter (for which all contributions will be highly welcomed, BTW) which will be sent to all people on their mailing list who've ever purchased a FreeBSD CDROM. Whomever would like to join me in doing PR this coming year is more than encouraged to do so. Jordan
