    I think this is a duplicate of the previous Slashdot article. It tells about a free DOS program that's spreading around email, targeting SCO.

    Oh, wait, you say FreeDOS isn't a no-cost denial-of-service program?

    Give me my freedom, and I'll take care of my own security, thank you.

    That system seems to be only $999 when I look at it. Maybe they saw a Apple cookie on your hard drive and jacked up the price since you were used to paying it.
