my first response from a hardware manufacturer... This is a australian company with overseas offices... They go promptly into the "Shame file".

Hi Guys, This month, I have emailed 3 different hardware manufacturers asking if they had linux drivers for their product (I pick one product from their site and email them about it.) generally the answer in most cases is no.. but thats not the point, if we all send 2 or 3 of these emails a month,, how long would it be before they start considing their lost market?? what do you guys think of this idea??? Its a thought... and I think an important one..... nothing is going to happen fast unless we start doing this sort of thing. rgds Frank
