	The Free Hardware Foundation, headed by Richard St. Mallman
(aka The Studly Quux), has just announced the release of the GNUsub.
	GNUsub is the FHF's submarine sandwich, intended to replace
other, commercial sandwiches. It measures seventeen feet by three feet,
and contains not only conventional ingredients such as steak, cheese,
onions, lettuce, mayonnaise, meatballs, turkey and roast beef, but
also less commonplace ones, such as yogurt, chocolate fudge, rocky road
ice cream, pineapple slices, breadsticks, brown sugar, kelp, paper and,
of course, Toll House cookies.
	The GNUsub comes packaged with various kitchen utensils, the
most important of which is an oven, which allows the user to reconfigure
the GNUsub as a hot sandwich, or even as a pizza.
	For the moment, the GNUsub is available only from FHF headquarters
in Massachussetts. It will be distributed nationwide as soon as deli-
catessen owners can be persuaded to give it away for free, as required
by the FHF Public License.
