	Now I know your opinion of yourself is large and you think you know it
all. But as a business man I went to the guy who built the thing and did
what he suggested. If it didn't work, no problem. I looked for the other
company that made the thing.

	The advice I gave was sensible and easy. He said he tried Red Hat on it
and it didn't work. I bet you $25.00 he didn't try the exact version of
commercial Red Hat. Had he bought the right version it would work fine.
