Stuart,
Ain't computers just ever so much fun? That's the kinda crap I
have to go through on a daily basis as a system and network
administrator. "Ah, sh*t, the SCSI cable has the wrong connector/is too
short/is too long, the video card doesn't have drivers/is vga and the
monitor is HDMI, we just bought 500 GB of the wrong memory, etc. It's
why we're so damn good looking and paid so well... ;-)
