Kinda reminds me of the time I called and asked them why when I ran
turbopascal while the sonixtts driver was loaded, that the machine
crashed during certain operations.  There answer was basically that
they don't support turbo pascal.  I thought that was a great answer
if I'd ever heard one.  My solution was to get a braille and speak
and hook it up when running TP.

Overall artic is pretty good at supporting there hardware, but they
seem a little flaky sometimes when it comes to software problems.

 Later..
