Hi Mike,

Sounds like you've been quite successful. I've been working on FreeBSD an 
hour here and there for several months now. I'm presently on my third 
install. My only problem now is printing. That will be solved soon, I'm 
sure. I haven't booted Windows in a month.

I like FreeBSD a lot. Learn something new almost everyday. That's the fun 
part.

Gary
