First of all, This is I think the first message I've ever seen that is both
quoted correctly and composted at the same time. I'd suggest Novell go back
to the drawing board.

Ok, I understand work, but what's the excuse for the Laptop? If your BSDfoo

to make you forsake freedom? I think you need a reality adjustment.
