I think Dave was trying to point out something different.
Besides, it's not a personal attack with regards to RME, simply because
RME is a legal entity. :)
All this mentioning of "belief" and
"church" to degrade open source
people is no better than me calling you and RME Nazis. Seems to be a
recurring theme that the person who presents the open source position
makes no personal attacks whatsoever, and someone who is okay with
proprietary drivers responds with personal attacks (both suggestively by
you to Marek and directly by Jan to myself). Let's throw the name
calling aside please. Anyway...
There are very valid technical reasons why a closed piece of hardware is
a POS from a Linux user's perspective.
[Heehee... Anyone else see the irony in this?]
So, it's ok for you to imply (in a previous email to Marek) that RME is
fascist and (in this email) that their hardware is a POS, but if anyone
else says anything defending them, that's a personal attack? There are a lot of things that I'd like to be able
to do that I can't.
[SHRUG] There are always other options. Why limit yourself?
Could you give me one option for 10 analog i/os of 24/192, firewire?
I'm a linux user. :)
