Excuses, excuses, excuses. 85% percent of software doesn't support your Voodoo2 card, so the requirement that 85% of software support FreeBSD and the Voodoo2 card is extremely unlikely. If it were to come to pass, Jordan Hubbard would have done what Bill Gates couldn't do. Not to mention less than 85% of all software runs on Microsoft hosts. Apple, Unix, and mainframes have at least 20% of the software market. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
