Mmmmm. So you don't think that the total absence of Open Source Software products in the palmtop market (a la CE) -- not to mention the fact that not a single Smart Card as yet runs an OSS OS -- is significant in any way? What will you do the day that you can't unlock the front door to your own house without an M$-powered smartcard device; or for that matter, even activate your workstation's keyboard without swiping an M$-manufactured card through the security slot? Hein? Now -- if you were to tell me that a bunch of bright young things in the Linux world were only too eager to emulate Linus' achievements, and do an Open Source version of _everything_ The Evil Empire is attempting to gain control of, well then . . . . . . aw, hell, I'm dreamin' agin! msw -- Martin Wheeler - StarTEXT, Glastonbury, Somerset, England - BA6 9PH [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.startext.co.uk/
