Reply #25: Oh dear, we are short some fleas!

Okay, Bev has got the mad dog that bit us in a cage, and it's snarling and foaming at the mouth, all covered with ticks and fleas, and some people are complaining that she didn't catch all the fleas?????

I'd be willing to bet that the "Dial out only capability" in these machines is merely a software abstraction, and not something hardwired. All we have to do is look at the modem, but even if it is some fancy device with hardwired encryption, it is still connected to Windows CE, which is a steaming pile of crap...

Oh yeah, Diebold says, half your stew is fresh crap, but it's been boiling all night, so it won't hurt you, we promise! Eat hearty, it's good for you!

I love Behler's description of the bad serial numbers and general inventory control problems. I've been there, done that... I've seen frankenstein machines cobbled together at the last minute on the warehouse floor, just before they are shipped out...

Wow... wow... This story is amazing.

Peace
