I don't see much difference to using the Plasmon, they are about the same price region. If Jordan's in a hurry, he should better get a Plasmon since my predictions about when it might be ready are a bit more accurate than for the HP. :-) I'm positive that once the driver is in a better shape, supporting the HP ain't a big deal. Perhaps Jordan should buy it and have it shipped to Peter first... ;-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
