good.
here's a thing you could throw at them (to stirr some 'fire' in the conversation).
if ATI guy goes : No we won't fully F/OSS the drivers...
you go : Then, thanks but no thanks - hade a nice chat. But the bottom line is, there
are other gfx-cardmanufacturors out there that allready do support us with
such things as F/OSS drivers, and by the looks from your comment - we're
going to spend our time supporting them for supporting us with F/OSS drivers.
/* if ATI guy asks who - say name XGI and Via - and that both produce hardware that's more then
adequate for what are going to do ... F/OSS drivers are more important for us in the long-line
then Blazzing-speed-we-won't-ever-be-able-to-fully-utilize-with-"crippled"-binary-only-drivers! */
Remember, they've come to you - not you to them ... so don't be to affraid of using that
as an advantage for your benefits ... business 101 =)
cheers.
PS. s/ATI guy/Nvidia guy/ when needed :-)
