        I have been following the MacBSD for many many moon now, and have
been very grateful for what they have done.  I have absolutely no interest
in a IIvx port, but that is just me.  There is no need for you to get so
upset with him questioning the vx port.  I would have to say that many
people in the last two months have been led to believe that the IIvx port
was imminent.  I remember posts of people sending their machines to the BSD
team.  Thus, all of a sudden, it is announced that there isn't a port has
surprised some.  I am patiently waiting for a Quadra port, and though never
officially supported, etc., I hold out hope that one day it will get there.
As soon as it does, I doubt it will run on my 660AV, but at least I'll
have something to work with to try and get it to run...

        Anyhow, GREAT JOB BSD team!  You have been doing some amazing work.
I can't wait to see someone running X11 on MacBSD, that will be quite a
sight!
