I think he has a good point w/ #2- I even downloaded some of the
software I saw in his shot. I don't think that we should just target
the average person that just wants to do chatting, emailing, news and
surfing the net, or even just the business people- but also the
scientific/engineering/computer people, who may be using windoze or
linux just because it seems like the best solution. We have to show
people that NetBSD can do a lot, and you don't need pretty M$ Office style
apps to do it with. People can use LaTeX, xdvi, Tgif, scilab, and other
apps for their scientific type needs.

Hey. We have to have one shot of that, don't we <g>. I guess xterms are
sort of scary, but I think it is important to show that NetBSD is also
a development platform and not some 'multimedia consumer-based
operating system' or something. although, it can be, and that also she
be represented...
