... who says I _always_ want it to look and feel like a "cell phone"? Some days, I'd prefer that my cell phone look like something else. Anything else.

Like a chair. :) b.g. -- Bill Gatliff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
