I have T41 and a T43p and I won't switch to a T60 as long as it's not fully supported by FreeBSD. my 2 cents :) bye, Uwe _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
