I'm sure that the goons from NewTek will kidnap you and strap you to a chair
with duct tape and shine a halogen lamp into your eyes till you break.

"Are you ready to buy a video toaster yet?  No?  Hey Vinnie, our friend
Bob here needs some encouragement.  Come over here and encourage him to
buy a video toaster..."

How do you propose to accomplish this?

I can see it now, the SS break down the door to my computer room, they
pour in and surround me, their automatic weapons pointed at my face.
The chief comes in.  "It's just as we thought, he has a Video Toaster
in here!  Don't you realise, this product has been banned by Bob
himself!"  He gestures to his men.  "Shoot him!"

Go for it.


For the humor impaired:  ;^)

BTW, I don't know anything about NewTek or the Toaster or Bob.  No
defense of NewTek intended.  All silliness is intentional.
