Hello Jessem, As I said in previous mail and contrary to Mr. Lehey's comments about people at Intel hating me. It was only a day later when a upper management person called me and thanked me for pushing the matter. She had no idea that non-I.E. users could not access the portal (and other Channel member site(s)). Intel knows what I am doing and they like it (why shouldn't they). The sites in question are now available to all SSL compliant browsers. I asked the people at Intel regarding the certification of FreeBSD on its server boards. They asked me if I had any problems or our customers had any problems with FreeBSD and our servers. I said no. As it works perfectly. So what am I doing? Trying to promote FreeBSD as the great OS it is. I guess to people like Mr. Lehey I am wrong in doing so. I still think I am right. And sometimes those nice little super polite letters are looked at by the people in the know, and then forgotten. That route was tried and went no where. Thats when I wrote the "disgusting" one. It worked. I call it Victory.
