It strikes me a kind-a wierd that I can hook up my HP DeskJet to my exter=
nal=20
HP JetDirect print server and print quite happily from my Linux machine, =
from=20
my Windoze Notebook as well as from my 2 Macs, running OS 9.1. But no suc=
h=20
luck under OS X 10.anyversion. I complained to Apple about this initially=
,=20
when OS X was fresh off the press and they said: "It an HP problem, talk =
to=20
them." So I did, and they said: "It's an Apple Problem because of such an=
d=20
such isn't supported".
And I was wondering what would happen, if Ford would start selling this n=
ew=20
car, with all the bells and whistles you ever wanted, except, it would ne=

126 octane gas - which isn't available anywhere. And when asked about the=

gas-car compatability, Ford would go "It's the oil companies problem, don=
't=20
come and complain to us...".
Later, guys.
