I'd really like to see the support they demonstrated vis a vis printing towards their laptop offerings. <rant> I have an HP DV7 1245ca .. well .. try googling that and UNIX/ Linux. And while I'm whining .. I'd love to hear what happened to AMD (who were in 'our' corner). Of course I'm still speaking of laptops here. </rant> -- Cheers, Steven Acres Toronto OpenSolaris User Group <TOROSUG> Leader http://opensolaris.org/os/project/torosug
