i very much appreciate the time you took to write this, nick.
you have not only answered my questions, both factually and creatively - just
like good code, i guess ;), but have inspired me to learn openbsd (not simply

be making a donation shortly to openbsd).

then i had another chance in the 90s - $20
but i didn't :(
they are quite a work!!

the perfect words for me to keep in mind as i start with a very solidified
outlook towards openbsd!
