I dismissed the "Windows only" small text on the side of the box, and bought the HP 710 Color deskjet. It uses PPA also, and Ghostscript can't handle it. There's a working black and white driver at this address (for HP 7x0, 820 and 1000 series) and I've just found that the same people are currently working on a color driver (see sourceforge. Since HP won't release specs, they are forced to hack on the windows drivers to find the printer protocol. It's been a while since I'm using the b/w driver, and I'm too cheap to spend color ink testing alpha drivers... But I'll give this new drivers a spin. Anyway, I think that every manufacturer that wants to approach the open source world should first release specs for all their products (HP: does that ring a bell?)
I was a kid when my Aunt Bibi took me to see "The Empire Strikes Back" and I fall asleep, too. Have seen the movies when I grew up, and I find them a bit boring also. I will go to see "The Phantom Menace", just because I like seeing those special effects, but I don't bet the plot will get any more interesting.
I DON'T have any interest in a 5-1/2 hour uncut version, though.
Now, a fair comparison will be if we take Robotech, for example. That's the greatest space epic I've ever watched, with a very good plot. Since it was the merge of three different japanese animation series, the story and dialogues had to be rewritten in the US.
I was sure happy as hell when I got to see some of the uncut (uncensored) episodes in the Japanese version with english subtitles.
I'm just trying Gnome 1.0 (GTK 1.2, on SuSE 6) and I find the most impressive of it's features to be the great themability that raster (among others) have added. Congrats!
