Well, 2 chaps at a German University did Linux first, then David
Malone did FreeBSD, but in essence, Yes :-) People are encouraged
to click & glance at the photo, then if one turns up some time in
company junk room, rescue it. Companies find the original NT
software useless, but the sheet feader + scanner + BSD inside works well.
