Mark:

  Two of my interests are NetBSD and recycling, and this article had both.  
I always read articles in your magazine with a view towards NetBSD 
coverage.  Sometimes there are parochial discussions along the lines of "my 
free OS is better than your free OS," such as in the letters section, but 
Brian Jepson's column completely avoided that.  

  I've been a NetBSD devotee since Dr. Dobb's Journal published the series on 
its predecessor, 386BSD.  Hopefully, a future article may examine the other 
hardware platforms that NetBSD runs on, and how ports are done in the "free 
world" to different architectures.

  Thanks!

     We will be posting this article on our website in the next couple 
     weeks. Kevin Lipski can give you a better sense of when and where to 
     expect it.
     
     What did you think of the piece? I assume you sound some value in it.

As noted below, NetBSD.org would like to cite or reprint the recent article 
"Old Workstations Never Die."  Can you point us to a URL or give the 
requested permission?
     
Thanks!

Can you see if you can find a URL for that or get permission from them to 
put it on the net and send it to www@netbsd.org to put in the "NetBSD in 
the news" section of the webpage?
