I've watched the appropriate groups for a week. Noone's seemed to pick up
on Rob Kolstad's keynote at the SUG Conference. So I've excerpted last
week's post in postscript herein. Note, the tantilizing noun used was
"BSD" and not "BSDI". But hey, ... where else is BSD really alive anymore? ;-)

Signed, a proud BSDI owner.
