Why is this? I'm not trying to be obtuse, but I don't get this
mentality. If primax are happy to supply scanners and documentation
to this project, why do they insist on making people like Christian
jump through hoops by forcing them to do things the hard way?
In simple economic terms they only help themselves by ensuring
linux drivers are available for their products as soon as possibel,
since they enlarge their own potential market.
Is there any way to encourage Primax to be a bit more helpful?
Maybe a post to Slashdot urging everyone with a primax device
to contact them?
What do you think, Jochem?
Bryn.
