I fired off a note immediately, including the observation that their
website could be better maintained and that they probably lost 50-60
sales because it wasn't.  I suggested that he go whole hog and advertise
the card as a "linux-friendly" NIC.

If everybody who wrote a note to the list complaining about the wisecom
website now writes Vick with both positive (we LIKE the fact that the
cards work) and negative (Fix your website!  Acknowledge Linux as a
market!) feedback he will come to know that we care...
