You pays yr processing time and makes yr choice :-)

I have been using freebsd for quite a long time and I find that sometimes I am 
constantly upgrading a machine which is being used for development something 
and then when I just need systems to carry on doing the same thing day after 
day I get into the if it aint broke dont fix it mode! Then a new 
application/need comes along and the cycle starts over again!
