Something like 'I > want it my way. Make it my way and it you will find that it is what > you really want, not what you say you want.' He knows what is best > for us. sort of like the way Microsoft feals about its users... ---- actually, Les has made it clear that he believes the fundamental problem is the GPL license which requires that device drivers be compatibly licensed to become part of distribution and that GPL license causes companies such as ATI & nVidia to provide less than their best efforts for Linux. Obviously, Les' opinion is not a very popular one on this list but he is entitled to his opinion and it doesn't make him a bad guy. Some people on this list find it hard to disagree without being disagreeable...we should leave that type of behavior to politics where it belongs ;-) Craig
