Oh, don't think I was complaining... I understand the costs of support,
believe me, I've been there.  If I want to complain, I'll direct that to
the vendor who sold me this thing.

In a niche market, hardware support is never a given... I learned that
on Alpha/NT.  Luckily, Alpha/Linux is a beneficiary of the x86 driver
effort, since many drivers are portable, or nearly so.

Sorry if I touched a nerve.
