Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers You are right at that one, David, regarding the salesdroids. At that VMware booth, that time, I actually met one. Still though, given the ideas that have been floating around this list, it would be an interesting one if IBM did indeed get involved in the DIY area for Linux, and then gave both the binaries, and source code away. Naturally the OCO binaries would not have the source code released. Yet. TPF? Isn't that the accident prone OS, that should only be run under VM, and that the human and the computer should be well supported? ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
