Yikes. I’ve seen numerous comments by BB editors taliking about the scam behind this software. I can hardly imagine a more off-brand item for BB to be pushing.

I went looking for those comments and can’t find them. The only mention I can turn up is this review, which is fairly positive.

I miss using Linux, sort of. And OpenBSD, sort of.

I miss telling people that I use them. They are the “I raise my own chickens … look at the yellow of these yolks” of operating system experiences.
