Dan,

Excellent point.

We were selling the ST320's at DisklessWorkstations.Com for quite a
while, but we worked out an agreement with the mfg to get them without
WinCE, so M$ didn't get any cut of the deal.

In fact, that's a major point for us, when we talk with hardware
companies.  We even got HP to sell us the T5305 and T5505 without CE.
