Intel graphics driver -- thanks!

[m h]

As a lurker who bought a thinkpad (I repeatedly heard "go centrino if
you want easy support under linux"), I'm wondering where the best
place to say thanks is?

I don't know how many Intel biz-types lurk on this list, but would
like my message to go to somewhere where it is heard (and where
decision makers see it). ;)

Please advise if there are more appropriate avenues to get the thanks out.

Oh and if I didn't say it, thanks Intel and thanks to developers!  Great job!
