It holds the door open. ;-) Seriously, it's actually a pretty spiffy machine, with its Wurlizer-style jukebox LEDs and all. I'd run NetBSD on it if they could get SMP working, but right now I'd waste half the CPU if I didn't keep BeOS on it. As for Borland, it's true that they're sticks in the mud, but it's nonetheless highly embarrassing that the BeBoys are outvoting FreeBSD 2:1. Borland will probably throw that up to anyone who asks for FreeBSD support in the future. Maybe the ballot box is being stuffed by a BeBot? --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
