This is one of the reasons I'm so concerned about this type of device. When you're dealing with stuff in software, if you have a bug you can whip the developers harder. When something goes wrong inside the device's internal firmware, there really isn't much you can do about it at all. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre [EMAIL PROTECTED] Intel Corporation _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
