I've never seen any evidence of a correlation between ethnicity and the prevalence or acceptance of computers. The prevalence of computer use in any country or region is much more closely tied to socioeconomic development, and acceptance (or rejection) of computers hardly seems to be related to anything at all, except individual personalities. This being so, the ethnicity of FreeBSD developers really doesn't have any bearing on anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason C.
