I rather appreciated the professional low key jab at New Technology in the 
1st issue of the FreeBSD Newsletter. Have been wondering if it would be A 
Good Thing to demonstrate our sense of humor and add some letters to 
FreeBSD's name. Call it, "FreeBSD OT" or because Microsoft was unable to 
trademark Windows we could subtitle FreeBSD, "Windows OT".

The OT could stand for Old Technology, Open Technology, or lots of other 
things. Everybody has brainstormed new and more appropriate definitions for 
NT at one time or another...  :-)
