 Well, that's nice and all, but the FreeBSD developers seem to be completely 
 uninterested in solving the problem, opting instead to blame the hardware 
 (even though all other OSes I've thrown at this hardware work on it just 
 fine).  Imagine that -- sticking your head in the sand and pretending a 
 problem doesn't exist doesn't actually fix anything!  Amazing!
 
 I dumped FreeBSD in favor of adding more file storage space to my existing 
 Windows XP system, and haven't looked back.
