But the fact is that I fail to see why does it matters if the prices were inside US or not. If the answer to that question was a "yes", what would it prove besides that that person in particular was wrong about prices? Will it change the reality in other countries? Will it have any significance at all on the development of FreeBSD? I'm sorry, but this "it doesn't work because it's cheap stuff" talk just don't fit me. It works on OS/2, which is multitasking and has a lot of problems with device drivers, so it is _possible_ to do it. Not doing it because people shouldn't buy cheap stuff is no excuse, imho. > > I'd suggest stopping this non-sense about prices.

I will. I having been too busy with something that was finish today, so I'll start tinkering with it tomorrow (I need some sleep first.. :). What's the most appropriate list for this? -- Daniel C.
