Yes, we have actually forbidden him from any future purchasing, since this
isn't the first thing he's gotten wrong :)

Donate them to local LUGs and Libraries, any extras after that will go to heat
my house in the wood stove ;)

The 4-corner rails are a pain, make the customer specifically ask for those :)
Give them the good stuff by default. The amount of money one saves buying a
VA system as compared to a Sun, DEC (er, Compaq), or HP will help them afford
the extra $40 or so for the slide-rail kit :)

Yeah, yeah, we're doing that (another thing the PHB messed up ;)

Well, fine, if you don't want to go out for a beer with us, we'll just drink
without you ;)
