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.
