Hello again from Gregg C Levine
I agree in principle Ron, but I am curious as to why they thought
that. After all, Linux BIOS does more for a system then U-Boot. It's
my guess that after seeing the appropriate demonstrations that group
will change their minds, collectively or otherwise. For that matter,
Greg W, I applaud your efforts regarding the PPC port.
