Hi guys- Could you guys give me some hard and fast evidence on this so that I can evaluate it.
Could someone please post a link to the relevant section of the NetBook material that was used by Mongoose. Could someone then also type in and post how Mongoose designated the OGC and the Section 15 information so that I can evaluate this situation. I dont like discussing the possibility of extreme action without having the hard facts and I admit that I dont own the Mongoose products and I am not that familiar with the NetBooks. But I am interested in this issue!
