Explain to me please the difference between that firmware and 3d-graphics code which is dumped directly to the GPU. Or how about code in a multi-processor system, running on the slave device? A computer is a device. To the end-user, it's a black box with power and network cables and a blinky thing on the front. Distinguishing between code on one chip vs. code on another is ridiculous. The only answer which is philosophically consistent *and* practical is to treat distinct hardware devices as hardware, and anything visible to the user as software as software. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
