Or, let us give a bit of credit to a vendor who not only operated fairly open regarding specifications, and who donated hardware to the various projects to get things happening.

So how about buying from the good guy this time around. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
