Here's another idea -- make a list of cards that you know of that there are problems with, but that you guys can't find. Some of us might happen to frequent computer shows or have some old hardware we can scrounge up, and might be willing to give that to you (to give to Cameron), or trade them for X future issues of the CD-ROM sets. I certainly don't mind spending $25 (or $50, or $100) to help support the FreeBSD project, and I don't really care too much how I spend that money. I'd prefer to spend it in a way that materially helps the project, and it seems to me that helping to find and donate bleeding-edge or ancient hardware for which we do not have good support might be a better way to do that than to buy a subscription of coasters. A central database done with PHP3+MySQL of hardware you're specifically looking for shouldn't be too hard to implement, should it? -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
