	Very true.  But is _is_ likely that if a lot (wish, wish) of
	people were to write articles about *BSD -- even "How I designed
	my dog's house with POV and FreeBSD" -- it's likely some magazine
	will notice and say, "Hey, who're all the sheet-waving nuts
	screaming 'Shub-niggurath, FreeBSD, FreeBSD!' outside the
	window ?".

	You are well placed to know this, dennis -- you make damned
	good serial cards and equipment, and I intend to make both
	them and FreeBSD better known here, and say, "FreeBSD blows
	the socks off your mid-range Cisco, with twice the availability
	and half the price".

	Anyway, FreeBSD only drives the nail a bit further for SCO, they
	did a good job of taking a sprawl all by themselves.
