OBE means 'out of body experience', and is completely different from the current topic. No, it means Order of the British Empire, as English-speaking patrons are doubtless aware. Actually, it means Officer of the Order of the British Empire. KBE is Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. OB is a vehicle registration symbol for Birmingham (Great Britain), and KB is Koninkrijk Belgie. So Bill Gates claim that no one needs more than 64 KB of memory is true. Personally, there isn't room in my brain for more than one Belgian of memory, as English-speaking patrons (ESP) are doubtless aware.

What is OUT OF THE BOX
Hello everybody, sorry for the stupid question, which should not be here, but sometimes you use phrase OUT-OF-THE-BOX. It can be also found on FBSD web-pages. I'm not from english-speaking country and I really do not know what does it mean. Can you explain, please ? Thanks and regards.

If you buy a new monitor, and take it out of the box it probably will work just fine for you and you will be happy. You will then have had an out of the box experience, or OBE. Thinking outside the box' means thinking in a manner that is unusual, or creative, or not within the confines of the ordinary. Hope that helps.

Out of The Box means 'Like New', and unmodified. It's the condition the item being referred to would be in when it was rem,oved from it's box.

It is supposed to give the impression of how a product appears right when you take it out of the box, before you integrate it into your life and customize it. Hope this makes sense. ;p -- Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
