I absolutely agree; while *our* definition of unstable includes "is missing USB support", the consistent surprise users demonstrate when they find out is evidence enough that that definition is not obvious :) If it looks like it works (i.e. it boots and plays music and so on) then people will expect USB to work because that's a core feature of the device to a user. -- Torne Wuff to...@wolfpuppy.org.uk
