Sorry, I didn't realize that a story about a man who spent the last 12 months of his life porting BSD Unix to a Microchip PIC32 Microcontroller, for an open source project, and releasing it in the last couple of days, wasn't a newsworthy item.

I'll severely reprimand myself, and leave you to read nothing more newsworthy in this group.
Cheers Don...

Absolutely. Your posts are out of place in aus.electronics. Your grammar is correct, your spelling is correct, your posts are newsworthy and computer-related and betray a whiff of knowledge and experience. Might I suggest that you ease yourself gently into the mainstream by saying "f*ck" in every second sentence.
Don was on this (Australian) group long before you even knew it. Everybody knows him and his business and also knows that he is a fine bloke. So please go and abuse someone on some German group, which you might be more familiar with, if you really have to.
Here, in this newsgroup, there was a sequence of new threads being started every day, consisting of basically nothing but buzzwords outside any context, and links to where you say the actual story was taking place, and to your own web site.
That's no discussion, and no story. That's spam advertising web sites.
If you had wanted to tell a story, you could have kept it in _one_ thread. Or you could have announced it once, and been done with it. Or you could have actually _told_ the story here.

So even in trying to defend yourself you can't refrain from placing the same spam.
Were you annoyed when t-online suddenly axed the news server ? I complained and asked for a refund since they had arbitrarily reduced the service, but (as usual) I got no response from the brain-dead morons.
Hans (on dick maybe), I assume you are some sort of spammer who appears to have nothing better to achieve in life than to annoy others.
You have annoyed me enough to think that you might be somehow mentally 'challenged' to post such a dumb comment, although you may not know of Don's great contributions to electronics and the very interesting links he likes to share. I, for one really appreciate Don's links, and the only thing I reasons I can think of for your message is that...
You are mentally 'challenged' in some way.
You are a newsgroup troll who likes to put down people just for the fun of it.
You have some gripe with Don about something you purchased from him.
Like, for example, he didn't think of it himself :-).
As a long term anorak, who currently has Ultrix 3.1 running on a Qbus 11/53 in BA23 box, I found the link very interesting. It must have taken considerable effort to get working and if the guy can make a few bucks to encourage further work, the best of luck to him.
There are quite few older oddball os's that look interesting for embedded work. Doug Comer's xinu shouldn't be too much trouble to port elsewhere and was also originally written to run on PDP11, with a vax host for software development. There are already ports to
