This looks very similar to something my favourite PC : software house (can you guess?) does: : 1. Hype up the market by telling them how great the product is. : Yes... I remeber your last letter to me. : 2. Blast ads in all rags. : Sure... market coverage... It's called free enterprise. : 3. Tell the market again how great the stuff is, and why you should : buy it the day it comes out (at special introductory prices!) : hmm... at special *LOW* introductory prices!! : 4. Tell the market the competition is crap. : I never talk bad about Bill Gates behind his back. : 5. Never deliver in time (due to last minute enhancements) : hmm... you must be wainting for a CD-ROM from DDJ also. : 6. Never actually mention what the user will get (feature wise) : The user... that would be you, I take it. : 7. Never let people see beta releases (let alone alpha) : Mystery of the week must be that 0.0 is not Alpha and 0.1 is not Beta. What your new job position.. sitting or standing? : End result - when it delivers, it's substandard, buggy and much : worse than the competition. I'm not eager to check my mailbox... : I guess, I'm not the only person to use Windows for Workgroups. : > That is to say, even as 386bsd is purported to be : > vaporware, Bill Jolitz is ready to deliver. : > : > What's in the package? : > I can't say, but I think the offering will be well recieved. : Great. Another one of your famous waste four lines and say nothing. : I don't doubt Bill is ready to deliver. But you might be doing Bill : the biggest disservice with all the shit you're posting. : If I am doing a disservice to Bill, you must be serving the main course. : I just wish you'd go away (stick your head somewhere warm and dark). : The fantansy continues...... -- Jesus Monroy Jr jmonroy@netcom.com Zebra Research /386BSD/device-drivers /fd /qic /clock /documentation ___________________________________________________________________________
