But, hey, who am I, but a lowly unemployed geek who is stupidly responding to comments when I should be posting resume`s…Life really is important, employment is not obligitory.

Nonetheless, it suggests that the Yellow Dog folk, TerraSoft, would do well to have a countdown timer to the free downloads being available or something that would let new customers know that it was a “when” not an “if” regarding getting a free copy of YDL4.

[mikemchargue.com] Core Duo Performance Revisited: One is over at AnandTech and the other is on TG Daily.
