You get all the sources of BSD386 for the $1k - ONE consolidated version. So, what's the problem? If millions buy BSD386, I'm sure it becomes as cheap as or even cheaper than the MS-crap (sorry); and, you always get the sources, Luke. [btw, comparing MS and BSD386 on a value-for-money basis....] Is there another HW-platform as cheap as 386/486? Please let me know. -- uli@decum.enet.dec.com
