: I see no defense here at all.  You talk about how tried to boot

: What does all this have to do with 0.2 coming out?
:
	Gee..... about two months ago I posted an article about
	a talk Bill gave at a meeting of the SVNET.  At this talk
	Bill said one of the many targets for 386bsd is to be able
	to do targeting... If you (Jordan) would like a copy
	I will send you one at no charge... jus e-mail me.

: With all due respect, I think you've been hanging out with Bill too
: long - you're starting to borrow from his debating technique!

: For the uninitiated, here's a short synopsis:

: Kid: "Hey, Bill!  You're not wearing any clothes!"

: Bill:  "Well you know, speaking of clothes, my new wardrobe is going to
: have some great stuff in it!  Silk shirts from London, a couple of
: St. Laurent jackets, and my ties are being woven from gold!  Pure gold!"

: Kid: "But, but - you're naked as a jaybird!"

: Bill:  "Yeah, birds too!  An entire line out bird outfits!  Every
: contingency planned for!  Little holes for their feet, wing flaps,
: special side-lights sewn into the cloth for flying at night (rambles
: on non-stop for twenty minutes on the intricacies and challenges of
: designing avian apparel).."

: Kid:  "Sputter.  BUT YOU'RE TOTALLY NUDE!"

: Bill:  "Wanna see a magic trick?  Look, I can make this coin
: COMPLETELY disappear!  Wow, huh?  How about some buzzwords?
: ``Virtual CPU'' How about that, huh?  I just made it up and
: it's *already* in 0.2!  You know the computer on `The Enterprise'?
: Well, let me tell you about .."

: Kid:  "Oog.. (dies)."
:
	I think you've been talking to me too much... your getting
	my sense of humor... tape still available to you at n.c.
