Personally I hate Open in a name... Hmmm. The name "OpenBoot" is taken, so even if you liked "open" in a name we couldn't use that. Somehow, "FreeBoot" comes to mind, so we could all be "freebooters" (non-native English speakers might wish to consult http://www.bartleby.com/61/68/F0306800.html) But it turns out that "FreeBoot" is also taken, part of -- wouldn't you know it -- the propritary wince support package from Via, see http://www.cyrix.com/support/wince.htm I suggest we let them keep it. :-) --Bob
