Not a problem now, but as you can probably imagine, it caused a bit of |
| 10 |
confusion the first time someone with the s2875, calling it the k8w, got |
| 11 |
in a discussion with me, with the s2885, also the k8w. =8^) |

What Tyan had in mind when they pulled that trick I don't know, but I can |
| 14 |
tell you I had in mind some choice words for them when we figured it out! |
| 15 |
=8^) (Still, I'll take Tyan's Linux support over MSI's, any day. I've |
| 16 |
been very impressed with Tyan, and conversely, not so impressed with the |
| 17 |
reports from MSI users, so I think we made the right choice, even if they |
| 18 |
/did/ decide to play games with duplicate board names.) |
