|Geez, that's pretty poor.

That's pretty common.  The people doing support usually just look
stuff up in the manual for you.  They're supposed to ask the real
technical people if they can't find the answer, dunno why they didn't,
but that usually takes several days (minimum).

|Assuming no one has any bugs, yes. :-)  But as you know ...

Yea.  The IBM X servers (at least the ones on the RS/6000 and the X
Station) are both slow and buggy.  They're generally usable though.
