Ahh, well thank you and back to the main purpose of this thread:

1) If Toshiba were to provide open source drivers for it's
"weirdities", would you purchase their machines?

2) If "yes" to #1, would you join me in a snail-mail writing campaign
to them to request they provide drivers for BSD and/or Linux -
preferrably open source for one, or closed source for both, if it must
remain closed for whatever reasons.

Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton
