So we went from three losers to four bozos. What's it going to be for
five, six, seven, and eight? What I'm trying to tell you is, although I
feel no animosity towards you, it would be really nice if you would just
be helpful and constructive, rather than negative and whining. The
people who have responded to you have only voiced what most of us on the
list are feeling.
By the way, I've tested our competitions printers. HP's printers are far
better designed than anything else I've worked with. The point is
programming and computer technologies are very young fields. You're
going to find problems whether it's closed or open source. Just don't
get bitter about it. Work instead to make it better instead of
complaining about everything. Like I said previously, let's see some
helpful suggestions.
Thad

Which is pretty-much why I haven't bought or recommended anything from
HP since the LaserJet Plus. I wonder how they feel about you revealing
that?
Please lets not get into "yet-another" open-source discussion. My only
point was that a "Release" should not be "just another snapshot", there
should be some "plan". If the 4 bozos who jump on everything I say will
just cut back on the coffee there wouldn't be so much BS.
