9/15    is eudora 4.1 beta stable enough to use?
        \_ It's a beta.  That means you're testing unstable code.
                \_ Some companies betas are more stable than other's releases.
                   (I'll take a Solaris beta over a Win NT release any day.)
                        \_ That's because you haven't learned Microsoft speak
                           yet.  Win NT 4.0 = "beta release".  4.0SP4 is the
                           the real release.
                           \_ THERE IS A SP4??? Where can I get it (without
                              registering w/ M$)?
                                \_ MS has been saying it will be released
                                   RSN for many months, but everytime they
                                   get ready for release, they find new bugs
                                   to fix.  It might or not make it out before
                                   the NT 5.0 release in 2000.
                                \_ If you're special, you can get parts of it
                                   or (get this!) a beta SP4 release.

8/7     What are the advantages of FreeBSD over Linux?
        \_  Well, FreeBSD's NFS implementation is better than Linux's
            and FreeBSD has a reputation for better overall stability than
            Linux.  Also, I understand that FreeBSD scales to a large number
            of users better because of how process scheduling is done.

2/13    JUNK ABOUT NT ERASED.
           You guys just don't get the big picture, and never will. Of course
           people in the academic community know why Microsoft products are
           inferior, but try to educate and tell the truth to the rest of the
           population. They will never learn, and will never care how/why/why
           not to use Microsoft. They will forever be using Microsoft products
