Jordan did lots for *BSD before WC hired him, and I'm sure that at least part of the reason they did seek him out was the sparkling presentation he has on the net (God knows what he is like in person). There are plenty of spray on hair commercials showing up and I don't think this is even close to one of them. I appreciated learning about this subscription offering. I follow the FreeBSD and NetBSD lists and didn't know about it. Peter -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
