How about this, then. We all stand idly by while Bill Gates makes billions by making it necessary to upgrade regularly to enjoy the latest benefits of technology. Then, we will also allow him and his company to shut down competition so we really won't have any viable alternatives. Then, when the next big revolution occurs, a bunch of grunts will provide us with Microsoft Linux as the new standard. Unfortunately, Gates will say, older M$ applications will not run on the new platform, so windows owners will need to upgrade.... all he needs now is to offer Linus Torvalds a job, and he'll be all set. And the hardware/software rat-race will continue. Sounds wonderful. Let's just make sure that FreeBSD stays strong, so those of us on the lunatic fringe can stand our ground. -jonathon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
