   God Dammit! I was about to buy one the drivers in when I had the
money and figured out how to get it to work. Hmm, does anybody know a
pro-bono lawyer so we could sue this 'gilgamesh' idiot! Hiroshi
*specifically* states this on his website.. I wonder if Ebay's
"square-trade" arbitrartion could be put into play - it could be argued
that gilgamesh was selling copyrighted materials without the authors
consent..

   Does Ebay let people leave "feeback by proxy" for sellers? I suggest
at the very least that we attempt to give him either a VERY bad
feedback profile, or get him banned from Ebay for a few years...

PS. I saw Wavelan on Unna - I assume that was with Hiroshi's blessing?

Miffed,
Jim
