Given the results of the last poll, in which CowboyNeal lost horribly to the option of 'yes', I voted for his option this time in hopes that it will raise his possibly near-obliterated self-esteem.:_D
I think I shall forego cvsup'ing and just get the CD. Why? Because I'm lazy.;) God bless/usr/ports. BSD forever (or at least longer than Linux... wait, it's already outlived Linux).
I'm a deaf/hard-of-hearing student, currently in high school and for the past four years I've devoted most of my time to teaching myself and others about computers and how they work. As far as accessibility goes for people with my handicap, I can say that I've not had much problems using FreeBSD or Linux. Most of it is text (except when it comes to running an mp3 server... btw, I can hear enough to listen to music, thank god), and therefore there really is no need for sound. The good thing about my handicap is that I don't have to listen to those damned Windows startup theme songs! Overall, when it comes to the needs of people with my condition(s), most are provided in a *nix experience with the added bonus of no stupid Windows sounds in the first place. Now, if there was a feature repelling the tech-illiterate from asking me inane Windows questions or bugging me about their sound drivers, I'd be even happier.;)

Well, then, I guess that means we're both out of the running. ;\
fP? PLEEEEEEEEEASE...

Actually, considering it'll be a console machine from Microsoft, you should be asking about the Green Screen of Death. ;)
Lucas can say to his fan(atic) base... "Bye, bye, bye..."
