What is this about???

I didn't say he was clueless. And yes it does matter for if he cant 
asnwer the questions clearly at least he should be able to get the answers 
for us. (Jason, Huh?, I never thought about that)

Hmmm... I wouldn't say that if I were you. The claim was that
NFS performance on FreeBSD has been improved greatly .

I bought Win95 and was asking technical questions about it and
not getting clear answers back. Also, the original posting was
*not* addressed to Michael --- he jumped in.

>	2) Give Michael a break.
	Why? Because he is defending his microsoft stand?

>Yeesh.

	For the record, I have left Michael alone and if I am not mistaken
	I made my comments about 2 weeks ago. My take is that you must 
	be very bore over there to be responding to a posting a couple
	weeks old.

	Later
