: Fine.  Then run the mac or windows version.  Is someone holding a gun
: to your head and forcing you to use FreeBSD?

This is the wrong attitude to take, IMO.  If something doesn't work, should
we switch OS's?  I don't think so.  We would all be back to Windows, but of
course, that doesn't work either.  If all bugs went unattended to, where
would FreeBSD (And UNIX in general) be now?
