- Ah...you seemed to have overlooked the smiley on the end. Anyways, I
- was a tad miffed when I posted -- right after the system crashed and I
- had to spend 1/2 hour cleaning things up on my hard drive. Should have
- probably taken a walk first. :-)

-
- *Anyways*, I am certainly not "pissed" by the non-functional SIO driver,
- after all, you do point out that it is free. But I *am* "pissed" (well,
- getting more and more upset, anyway) at *IBM* for not having a proper
- driver in the first place.
-
- Regardless...I feel much better now. :^)

- Nope. I got a few messages about this, and happily removed all
- references to the fossil driver. When the system crashed thereafter,
- it *really* added to my "dissapointment" level.
-
- Oh well -- judging by the e-mail I've received I'm not the only one
- who has seen this problem. Hopefully the cause will be found.
