I think my "demo's" that I talk about use programming to do what your MPEG shows, except that they are easier and more impressive. We want to use FreeBSD to showcase FreeBSD, in a way that won't risk their hard disk. Everything comes off the CD, loads into RAM, and mostly whizbangs all on its own with scripts and cron jobs. It's just a teaser, a "wow, it can do that? Windows is so blah compared to that!", but that has the Handbook to study and some programs to play with. It's not for sysadmins, it's more for popular magazine editors and celebs and Joe Public. It's a completely risk-free harmless intro to FreeBSD for anybody. You bet I want W95 people, I also want people who would normally go Linux. People who will add an extra HDD to load FreeBSD alongside their 95. Of course, if you want to make mpeg's, I'll be glad to have them too!!! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
