Gee wilakers, Beave, if PC-NFS was so neet then why doesn't it work 
all that swell with recent versions of MS-DOS, PS/2 machines, compilers
that require more than a couple Kbytes of resident memory... 
Even our MS-DOS people throw away the PC-NFS propaganda in disgust, 
which Sun keeps mailing out to the known cosmos.

Might it be wise to get your own house working before injecting so 
much Sun dogma over here in MacLand?
