If plug and play is brought to linux, there's one feature I hope
will be implemented beyond the plug and play standard.
That is, if a file (name to be determined) exists in
the directory in text format with initialization settings in it,
linux should make the plug and play honor the initialization
settings in that file or generate an error log file
explaining why each setting can't be honored.  Had either Intel or
Creative
Labs done such a thing this whole plug and play system
would have been far more enjoyable to use for all blind
computer users than it has turned out to be.  All of this goes to prove
the point, just because a business has lots of money don't necessarily
mean it has the brains to back it up.
