	OK, kids get in early on this one cause... bombs are away.

	eg. comp.os.386bsd.development is usually 12-15 messages 

	When the 386BSD CD-ROM hits my hands next week, of
	the week after, I'll be on the Net as I can to
	let you know "what's up!".

	At this point in time, you'll see the sh*t hit the
	fan.... get this in early, ' cause when the train
	starts to roll - only the ticketed passangers will
	ride......
	
	(htere got 3-4 spelling mistakes in tonight... I feel better!)
