Sorry, that i dont have smth specifically useful to say here,
but i think that some kind of feedback would give a better
feeling to all people in the list, that extra (cycological) support
that could keep a person from making the final switch to
linux.

Raising such an important issue as the current thread,
i think deserves something more than complete silence.

If Nikos Ntarmos is around, anything related would be appreciated.
Are these clock related issues worth intergrating into the patch?
Any progress ?

(I dont mean to sound like yet aonother "i want it all now, so you do it no=
w=20
for me please" kind of newbie,
i am writing this if nothing else to give some life to the thread).
