Nope.. It's fact.  Too bad if it's uncomfortable for the vendor or some 
of the end-user supporters of the products.

And you expect inkset vendor/manufacturers to support/recommend the 
products based upon that option..? You must be kidding Roy..  Speak to 
the inkset vendor/manufacturer decision-makers yourself and you'll hear 
exactly what I'm repeating here..

The Linux on a WinTel network is a nice option.. Unfortunately, it 
relegates the products to a niche market within a niche market.. Those 
willing to go that route as a subset of those pursuing quality B&W 
output from Inkjets..

Additionally, AFAIK, setting up the box on a Linux printer host/server 
means you lose the Windoze EPSON printer driver functionality 
entirely... (Which may be an issue for some potential end-users)

Roger.. Feel free to read my  original post SLOWLY.  The vast majority 
of the negative commentary is directed at Bowhaus..  Roy never promised 
a WinTel version.. In fact, part of my point was that AT LEAST QTR has 
what IJC/OPM only promises (a working OS X) version. [Admittedly, I was 
mistaken in saying that it WILL likely have a sooner OS X port.. it has 
one already)

Since I, in no way attacked Roy or QTR, I have not intention of offering 
such an apology....
