Hey Matt, That's good enough for me, but there's someone in particular who would benefit from a more capable machine than what they are dependent on now. I'm thinking about RMS on his Yeeloong. It's a nice machine, but very slow and no real graphics capabilities. Even though the 3A / 8133 drivers are entirely libre, he still won't make a compromise, even for a small data structure like a ring buffer. How difficult do you think it would be to replace the firmware with a libre replacement? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
