Hello Newbs

[Jalle]

Aah! Mike, you're a hero!

I've been thinking of doing what you have done for a long time, just to get 
something going on this list!
Few months ago I switched from my dual boot- Win2k & FreeBSD- to plain 
FreeBSD, and I have still to see what Windows can do that FreeBSD can't. 
Apart from the device drivers that is...
Hope to get more people into *BSD, it would be better for all of us!

See ya!
