I'm OK with greed and selfishness. It's the sheer stupidity of the situation. In fact, I think this situation would benefit from a bit more greed -- i.e. a manufacturer willing to take a risk on truly well designed, high- end laptops for Windows (let's be realistic) users. Right now, they all seems to be simply ceding the high-margin laptop market to Apple; it's pathetic. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno@xxxxxxxxx Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying. ======================================================================== -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
