I must > have missed that. A while back I bought a small desk-side system, installed Linux and HP refused to register it. A few years ago I moved from the bay Area to the Central Coast of California. Having built white box systems for over 20 years I now find no reasonable close source of parts (I miss Fry's and the other parts stores in The Bay Area). When my mail system recently,and surprisingly went tits up I had to buy another system. HP being the only reasonably priced option, I bought one, but I also bought a new 1TB disk. After I got the system registered with HP (warranties are good) I hauled out the Vista (gag) disk and put F8 on the new disk. But this is a pretty lousy way to lousy way to operate IMHO. > They do a great job with printers for Linux. You gotta > hand them that one.

Seems to have been a good move, but I am still on the original cartridge. dlg > -- > ================================================ > My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: > "There are two Great Sins in the world... > ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity. > Only the former may be overcome."
