I didn’t say *why* many driver writers were incompetent, I simply observed
that they are, and that little is being done at the management level to
change that.

Drivers in Ja va]Mark,
I think you have wholly missed the mark on why most drivers
are crappy. The BIG reason is the API is way too robust,
(read its way to easy to hang oneself). Add to this a SEVERE
lack of documentation and samples and of course you are going
to end up with a mess. I am surprised that all works as well
as it does on the Windows platforms.
