mike allison stands accused of saying: > Gee Mike and YOURE SO GREAT!!!! BSD runs everything on the fucking > planet and we can all go to bed thanks to YOU! Just about everything, actually, and if it doesn't, and you can help us out, then we'd love to have your help. And try "us", not "me". > Linux is becoming MORE divergent every day. If YOU want to be like them > go ahead..... I can't see where you're coming from here. Would you care to explain a little? > I think the question was DO we need a BSD specific port and the answer > (SORRY it was just my opinion and I can't speak for the whole world > Einstein, was Yeah, today we do...) ... and yet when the issue was raised perhaps a week or so ago, and people that have actually worked with ISV's and with OS vendors dealing with ISV's were sharing their experiences, you were where? After listening to their input, which was calm, reasoned and based in some cases on direct experience with the ISV's in question, you still claim there's a need for a BSD-specific port of an application which is available for Linux? I'm sorry; I can't see how you can take such a line, except in the context of rampant fantasy. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
