Well, if he doesn't change his hardware then. Also, note that a lot of
drivers have appeared on DDPak in the last month or two. USB is
becoming supported for various devices. It's as good as it ever was I
think.

The nastiest rumour I've heard is that the Software Choice stuff will
be unavailable without a subscription, the free stuff will go. Someone
posted this on Usenet, but was immediately followed up by someone who
said he was glad that he hadn't been the one to break his NDA with IBM.
Sounds awfully like it's true. This apparently will occur sometime in 
the fourth quarter. I'd go and get everything you need from there now
if I were you.
