I think you're completely missing the point here. While scripting arguably makes life easier for power users, it is pretty much useless for novice users. Shells, emacs and vi are nice if you already know what you're doing. Sit a computer newbie down at a login: prompt and give them the task of writing an email to their buddy in Australia, and you'll see (or not) just how necessary scripting is for a good user interface. I'd argue that one of the most basic needs for a good good user interface is for a user to immediately be able to identify the first step they need to take to perform a desired task. -Sunpig.
European versions would be regulated by the respective countries FCC equivalent. So as long as the frequencies are available, they should work together fine.
Does anyone know if any European bodies have granted their approval for these cards to use the relevant part of the spectrum?
