Sometimes in life you can do a good thing and people will notice. (trite but true) Off topic... I have had some odd experiences with Dell hardware in the past. Last time it was with their on-board video hardware; said it was an ATI, but I couldn't get XFree86 to do better than 640x480. I ended up putting a Diamond Stealth in and disabling the on-board. Just a heads up and a general question that other's might have input on. (I am not on -hardware, but you may want to ping that list) Dan Christopher Mark Conn wrote: > Don Wilde writes: > > > We _are_ making a difference.
