I can't even BEGIN to tell you how cool this looks. I'm going to check it out. Right now I have a Winblows "all in one" HP OfficeJet. It SUCKS. Among other things, the software blows up Win98 CONSISTENTLY in ways that wedge the processor (oh Joy!). I recently replaced an NT server with FreeBSD+Samba. If I can replace THIS piece of shit with something that works, I then need only a $200 fax machine for "paper fax" needs - or a cheap SCSI scanner - and I'm in completely in business. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) http://www.mcs.net/~karl I ain't even *authorized* to speak for anyone other than myself, so give up now on trying to associate my words with any particular organization.
