Scientific American and stuff like that would be cool too. That's an excellent idea. I really can't think of any magazines, but I really can't recall seeing a FreeBSD advert as a banner anywhere. It would probably be a good idea to try to get into the service that does Slashdot's banners and perhaps some other techie websites (http://www.userfriendly.org, http://www.sluggy.com, http://www.dilbert.com (yes I'm a online comic reader)) Tom's hardware? I'd like to see a cute/crafty animated BSD banner up someplace soon. Maybe I just have bad luck with which banners they choose to show me? -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
