    ...when I asked a valid technical question (posted to their news server) and got ignored.

    Their loss... did what I was planning to do with FreeBSD, more easily, faster and more securely that QNX could ever hope to be.

      Please consider this hypothesis. The poster said nothing about posting a FreeBSD question to a QNX newsgroup. His QNX question was not answered so he ended up using FreeBSD instead, dumbass.

    ...when I asked a valid technical question (using their public newgroup service) and got ignored.

    Their loss... I was able to accomplish what I needed with OpenBSD, more securely, efficently, cheaply and with better community support than QNX could ever hope to achieve.

    Please.. just because a new version of qnx came out, don't post stories about how cool the Icon's were running qnx 2.0 or whatever..

    You don't see the ms people reminiscing about windows 3.1 everytime a new version or service pack for windows comes out..

    QNX rtp 6 isn't anything like the cli version of qnx that ran on the old icons that the canadian school system is/was so found of.

    Instead, you could download qnx rtp and post informative comments discussing its merits compared to other modern day os's or something similiar and actually on topic to the story.
