because it's possible to run OpenBSD on everything.  you must work for some
magical company where OpenBSD runs on 14 CPU Ultra Enterprise servers and that
crappy windows based accounting software runs on OpenBSD.

hop off the OpenBSD bandwagon for a second.  sure, it's useful, but only for
certain things.  you build a network to be safe, because sometimes you can't
lock a machine down tight no matter how hard you try (*cough* windows *cough*)
