Remb the Sony eVilla? Basically the WebOS of its time.

Haiku-os

Some people plug in the printer before running the CD, and this can often mean the printer is a right pig to install. Often going round in endless loops "need to delete files and restart", over and over.

And if you have 2 HP printers then it can be a real PITA.

HP cannot even make a standard unified driver, like ATI/NVidia etc, afterall it's only printing, scanning and maybe faxing. That's all.

If HP can't even do that then what hope that they can make millions of devices work in total synchronicity?

This is another situation where the guys at the top get reward bonuses for making it happen, and don't have to stick around and wait for payment based upon the long term success of the deal.

The Inquirer, why does the news article vanish when I want to write a comment?

Please can you "fix" it that the article is still there?

Lets not forget Palm purchased BeOS, if you ever saw it and used it. It was just amazingly quick!

they said when they bought them that they did it because of the OS as it's easy to scale
