  *sigh*.

  LINC!!  Relax.  Both James and I run Linux on at least one or two of
our machines.  We like it.  Pipe down and put the LinuxTribesman
spears away.  What James was referring to was writing half of the
support for a new architecture (VAX, for example) and then calling it
"done".

  This type of knee-jerk business is what gives the linux crowd a bad
name.  The only entity that's out to kill or hurt Linux is Microsoft.
Direct your anger at them.

  By the way...I've got dozens of AUI fanout boxes here.  Feel free to
come down and get them.  I can also hook you up with some of the MMJ
cables you've been needing for a while.  And maybe some more
DECstations.  And maybe another VAX.  And maybe...
