most people dont have the equipment, knowledge, skills, or time to do
this. altough i respect your opinion and as an electrical engineer i know
where you are coming from, it virtually makes the argument invalid.
although i know that livingston prides itself on making tight resourceful
os's that are not bloated, they can and IMHO should be working for these
types of things in their "future" products. you dont have to bloat to give
the people what they want. also knowing that they wont give us boloney
until it is prime rib, i'd guess this stuff is at least being considered.
the market(s) they want will dictate if we get units that eat some or all
other products that do those things.

does it? or does it do what it was designed for and only that? yes, it
gets the job done for its intended uses and very well.

i volunteer! send me 2 or 3 of everything. ill devote 25 to 50 percent of
my time testing it for freebies.

you will, they are. they release it when it's done and ready for prime
time. i just dont see how le can be tunnel vision.
