No clue what the hell they were thinking, if they were thinking at all. One item is that they've now made the username I used, now has an illegal character, a @ in the middle of it.

Apparently I'm the only one, but it has also (the hpfax problem) attacked my new but wheezy install for the 6040 gantry mill. But its only killed me 2 or 3 times in several months, whereas it was taking this machine down 1 to 3x a day. BUT!!!!! since fixing that, I've lost just the keyboard a couple times since on this house machine, getting 3 to 7 days uptime, but I still have a working mouse, so I can do a legit reboot.
