All this press about *selling* computer parts and no details about how Wal-Mart will deal with the toxic electronic crap when it fails in a year or two.
I guess *recycling* is only for crazy environmental friendly companies like Apple....
A good solution may be to charge Microsoft for the recycling cost of the CDs - then they will attempt to pass the cost onto the consumer and price it out of the market....
It is not just for the soundcards that creative does not give hardware specs. Just my luck- of all the CD burners to get- I end up with a creative labs burner that is unsupported by cdrecord.
Here is the latest from the cdrecord web page:

The following CD-R drives are not supported by cdrecord-1.8:

Ghostscript also works with a tool called xbubblejet- it was developed for a BJC-4200- but I have it working on other canon printers like a BJ-610 and a BJC-250. You may be able to tune it for the specific canon printer. The source is at: http://www.butera.org/xbubblejet/ I use the sample filter script for lpd with LPRng to format the output with ghostscript. -bill

Great about the acid test.,
Hopefully sometime they will actually fix bugs like printing to the generic driver so I don't have to tell people to use IE.
I don't get mozilla - sometimes those ppl just miss the boat on stuff...
I have tried multiple versions of bootcamp-
and they all have the same flaw.
Just because I have a linux partition doesn't mean that I SHOULDN'T
be able to burn an updated win XP drivers CD...
The multiple partition check in Bootcamp is REALLY REALLY BROKEN!!!
It should allow burning of winxp update drivers CD even *if* there are
multiple partitions (ie triple boot mac/win/linux)....

The cygwin toolkit openssh client on Windows works very well against a unix server.
It may be a bit of overkill to install all the cygwin tools just to get the openssh support- but
since I have them installed anyways....
