I mean, if you're not sure, you can look something up and learn how to do it in a very short time due to the great docs, and the great books. > > Kirk McKusick do the forward made me happy, he's one of my personal > > heros.

Oh I know! It amazes me just how Talented he is. And of course being very friendly. I was actually nervous about meeting him because, you know, when you meet a hero, you worry about people who talk about Glenn Danzig being a Jerk sometimes and it ruins it for you, but he's a really nice guy. I didn't have a whole conversation or anything, but he was very nice to me, and I was glad he wasn't pissed about the long ass email I sent so it was nice :) -Allen -- BSD user
