Damn, Dennis has guessed our secret. Yep, we've been secret shills of the industry all these years, working on clandestine projects for everyone from IBM (AIX? It's just FreeBSD with a different label and some UI crap layered on) and the American National Security Agency, where we do perimeter security systems for Area 51 in the Nevada desert - whoops!! Did I actually admit to that?! Better bite down on my cyanide capsule before the Black Helicopters come for me! Argh! It's too late! They're here! Well, anyway, I hope the rest of the team can keep our highly-commercial efforts alive. God knows we're certainly making piles and piles of money from all this, and I've had to rent a trailer just to store all the "black project" funding we've been getting over the years. Trust Dennis to see The Truth(tm) - I should have known better than to let anything slip to him! Jordan
