You know, I've bugged numerous companies for different things(all pertaining
to Linux), and I've found that the less the person you complain to hears
from, the less they hear you overall. I propose we set up some kind of a
'bitch list', where we list the names and contact information, and the
feature/request/complaint of the company we are trying to get to listen to
us, and those of us who decide to participate can help by adding a chorus to
their call. Here we're talking about a feature for webshots.com. I just got
done wrestling with HP support about scanner support. The smaller the
number, the higher tendency to ignore. I say we fight! We fight by all
complaining at once! Send me the contact information and I'll echo your
request.

I saw this and though it might be kind of cool.  I downloaded and used
wine to install (with no troubles at all) fired it up and was able to
browse
the thumbnail versions of the pictures.  everything seemed to run great
under
wine but yet I dont think wine knows how to set the root window so I was

unable to get the pictures to set as my background.  they are also in a
propritary
compression format that wont let you export the webshots copyrighted
pictures from them.

I guess the only other choice would be to bug them to make a linux
version
prefrebly with great gnome and kde support.
