Hell has frozen over: I agree with something Al Sharpton is doing

Hell has officially frozen over in my world.  I agree with Al Sharpton on something.  SillySlug.com is reporting that Mr. Sharpton will soon be campaigning for the support of linux.  He's asking that large companies create linux drivers and port their software for linux compatability.  I don't care as much about the programs, but the drivers is a big step.  It  allows people who buy those devices to choose what platform they want to use them on.  Many companies like HP have been doing this for years but there are some pretty annoying holdouts.  I for one would love a driver for my mx900 logitech blue tooth mouse that would let me use it on my mac.  (Mac runs on Darwin Linux)  I signed a petition for it more than 2 years ago. 

Side Note
Competition is always better for Americans.  If tomorrows devices can be used on different platforms it helps heat up competition between software developers and the consumer always wins that kind of war.
