- You seem to have left out the part about sitting on hold on the phone
- for half an hour waiting to speak with some tech who can offer you ways
- to get hold of the new flashrom code. Gone are the days (it seems) of
- "only required a download of a file".
-
- If you could call a Courier a superior modem in the past, I'd say that
- this change in flashrom access policy has certainly raised question
- marks about that label in the present.
