Fedora 8 works alright for me. I do not have a PDA so I do not 
experience the bug. I do have a NOMAD jukebox which was fixed to work 
with input provided back to the developer. Report the problem to the 
correct component in bugzilla.
Remember that the developer would take a bug report containing relevant 
to problem titles and bug descriptions compared to reports like "Strange 
Things Going On" or similar titles.

I'll have to try a USB device in "Fedora 8 2B" and see if it works. I 
have none handy for development testing. For Fedora 7, I can try that at 
work.

The feature should still be there for parallel printers. Report the bug 
as to the functionality still being required and what effects it has on 
your system functionality regarding printing. I am sure the 
functionality will be restored.

Think release cycle with a time based snapshot of current developmental 
progress. It would be more obvious if specific time references were 
used. But could you imagine a "Fedora 2007 premiere" for the first half 
of the year and "Fedora 2007 conclusion" for the remaining portion of 
the year. (Of course, not to be confused with w9x,2000)
