I did go to the SANE site and yes while there's a deluge of info. there it still doesn't make any sense to me as a prospective buyer. Instead of zillions of models which are listed there if we could have on the ubuntu site say 2-3 models of each company with an estimated street price and who are the dealers with whom we could connect. That database could always be updated to include newer models and phase-out the older models. I know enough people who would use Ubuntu if this kind of help/documentation was available as well. > Two : this is issue of licensing (even through CC) is way over the > top.

I license all the mails which I send using this, although have been thinking to change it to CC - by - SA. There is just a single motivation as far as licensing the mails through CC. 1. People with whomever I'm communicating, many of them are unaware of the alternative that CC gives. I like that and I wanna do a bit of propaganda for them. I don't get any commercial benefits of the same, I like CC and hence I use one of the licenses to sign it. Ram, while I'm not particularly fond of flame-wars would love if you could tell me why is the habit bad and why does it send a wrong precendant?
