I commend you guys for being able to do this in English, I know it's not easy for you. In fact, I was telling my wife how you guys do use your english to communicate, and I think it is a very noble thing for you to do. OTOH, few would understand if you were to use Japanese. > 2. Nate, you are nagative to PAO, so we become passive for PAO > integrate. I have noticed this also, and I've not been able to determine what the exact problem is. Maybe it is that many of the people have a difficult time communicating with the Japan, where PAO is done, that I don't know, but I notice the lack of willingness to work with the PAO authors, and I've been staying out of it as I don't know all the politics. It has turned me off from trying to help out with this effort recentely though, I don't need to be in the middle of a war, and quite honestly I don't have time to fight with people on issues like pccard or pao or both, or this or that... One thing I must admit is that you PAO guys seem to know what you are talking about, and you have given examples of where the PCCaard code is broken and/or could never work. Wether Nate or anyone else likes it, it appears that you guys have done your homework. And I respect you for that, as well as being able to debate the issues with english which is not your native tongue, omedetou gozaimasu! For me, my Japanese is poor in the sense that I don't have good grammar, and for the Japanese it's similar, their english doesn't have good grammar a lot of times, but you guys should be commmended for your efforts in trying to communicate with some of the other people, I know it's difficult. -- Alan DuBoff - Conductor Software Orchestration, Inc. aland@SoftOrchestra.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
