-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi again:
For anybody wondering what could have been possibly wrong with my GT-8200U not working under Linux, I ended up trying it under Windows as well...and it didn't work there, either. Turns out there was a mechanical defect, and I called up my retail store and they quickly swapped it for a new unit. Works perfectly under both *nix and Windows now. Heheh. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, anyway. ;-) On Thu, 20 Jun 2002, Steve Frampton wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hello: > > Thanks for the tips.
