   Only joking... looking forward to seeing what 1.0 has to offer...

The difference is: I'm running NetBSD-1.0 even as we speak.  In fact,
the message is being typed in Emacs GNUS running on X running on
NetBSD-1.0.  And, anyone who *really* wants to, and can't wait for the
official release, can download the 1.0_Beta test binaries from
ftp.iastate.edu. or other NetBSD mirrors, and try them out on their
own machine.  These things you can NOT do with 386BSD-1.0.
