Hi Ken,

I'd be interested.  I'm one of those dinosaurs still using OI on the
desktop, and while my demands are modest, I do like having an environment
available which is at least modern enough to accomplish my daily tasks.
And, while work demands leave my no time for outside coding, I do have two
x86/x64 machines on which I'm willing and able to test out new bits.

Since I do use these machines pretty much every day (at work and at home),
I need to keep them useable, so I could only commit to testing bits that are
in a LiveDVD/LiveUSB image, or (even better) in an IPS repository or other
package format which I can "pkg install" onto a separate BE for testing.
Actually, even a tarball-type package would be testable on a separate BE.

So, better take advantage of the above before I've given up and saved
enough to buy myself a Mac like the other members of my family....

Regards,

Marion
