No offense taken here. I take a beating from some of
our customers much worse than that... :) I have
personally yet to see the compay embrace anything *BSD
related. I have nothing against the company in
general, just that from my experience (so far), trying
to drum up support for *BSD hasn't been at all
forthcoming. I'm glad to see that other people have a
higher opinion (really, really glad).

As for OSX though, things are picking up... When (if?)
there is a Notes client for it I may have to make the
move...
