I have documented a few conversations that I've had with various
hardware and software vendors regarding Linux / Wine compatibility.
But it is rather incomplete. The site is not a 'blog' and is intended
more as a reference for those who want to write to hardware / software
vendors as well (That portion of the site, anyway).

I have been using WD drives for years without excessive problems. My
gripe is not about the quality of the hardware, but the service.
