<p>
Sure would be nice if <a href='http://www.digital-cameras.info/fuji-finepix-f401-zoom.htm'>my camera</a> didn't instantly hard-lock every machine I plugged it in to.  I'm pretty sure it's the <a href='http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/preempt-kernel/'>preempt patch</a>.

Scratch that, it's working on <code>halcyon</code> (the laptop).  Now I can back up some of the pictures I've been taking!
