Join the club.  The word 'Quantum' is not to be said in my presence in the
office unless you want to talk to Mr. Sledgehammer.  :)  I will support and
sell Quantums to my customers after MicroNet carries them again.  When they
do, then I will be convinced, but I am not going to talk to Quantum and one of
the idiot salespeople in the other office is quoting Quantums and in my fit of
hysteria I did my impersonation of Sam Kinison and said...
 
"If you (*bleep*)ing sell them, you can (*bleep*)ing fix the (*bleep*)ing
things!!!!!!!"

And the windows in the office did vibrate when I said that.  Get a clue
Quantum, I've already got a pain in my backside, I don't need another one.

I will not even troubleshoot a computer with a Quantum in it anymore.  I know
where the trouble is, but unfortunately, I can't very well shoot it.
