    Hence the phrase, "Gone the way of the Commodore" ?

    Exactly, except we used to say "gone the way of the Commododo.". :-)

    Oh, how I would like to get my hands on Mehdi Ali and Irving Gould and slowly wring the last ounce of life out of their greedy bodies... But I digress.

    If there was a BeOS driver for your sound card, it just worked. No recompiling the kernel, no reading highly technical HOWTO files that even experienced programmers have trouble interpreting to work out which compile switches to set, no editing /etc/modules.conf in Mysterious Ways to load the driver with the correct parameters, and definitely no futzing with PNP tools to interrogate and configure older cards.

    Damn, better go and recompile my windows kernel again!!
