Hey, count me in,too.  I'd love to get involved in a "Free the Bible" 
campaign.

Also, does anyone know where I might get a Turkish language version of 
Linux? I will be moving back to Turkey in a few months and would like to buy 
a cdrom with a Turkish Linux distro on it.  That would be just the ticket to 
drive my wife crazy. :) If there isn't any such item, does anyone know where 
I might get a Turkish font set?

In Christ,
Jim

Ooh!  Do, do, let's!

(For those of you who never read Enid Blyton as a child, the above means i 
think
this is a good idea.  :-)

Here's what we should free it from:
- commercialism: Making money at the expense of wider distribution.
- ethnocentricism/linguacentricism: Concentration on Western European 
languages.
- egotism/parochialism/translation theory centricism (?): "My translation is
better than yours" syndrome.

I'd be happy to host a web page on my less-than-high-bandwidth site.  :-)

1 Cor 9:18 for the theme verse?  :-)
