Why can't you let Bill Jolitz speak for himself ? Bill Jolitz doesn't speak, he prints ads in Dr. Dobbs for CD-ROMs that he can't deliver. Most District Attorneys would call that a violation of the Truth In Advertising laws. But considering the Justice Department let Bill Gates off with a pat on the back, what do you suppose they'd do with small fish such as Bill Jolitz. How long does it take to run off a batch of CDs? An organization that I'm affiliated with (that shall remain nameless ;-)) had a sample back and then a small run of ~1000 in under two weeks after delivering the master tape. If the Jolitz' can't get a run of CDs in four months it sure gives one pause to wonder what they're doing. FreeBSD has earned my respect and my use on my personal machine. I have every reason to believe that NetBSD is every bit as good, although I don't have any personal experience with it. I'll go back to 386bsd the day after I put MS-DOS back on my computer. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
