In your own words, BULL****.

I do build-to-order servers with RAID, database-driven dynamic web
sites, a lot of seriously ****ed up SQL code, custom software systems,
custom hardware, as well as PCs built to order.

No off-the-shelf stuff here. Although I must admit, assembling a PC from
components, plugging it into a monitor, network port and power, then
power up, PXE boot from the network, wander off, come back 40 minutes
later to a fully installed WinXP box with all the security updates,
ready to box up and deliver to the client... it almost seems too easy.

But then, it's my job to understand this stuff.

As the old saying goes, there are only 10 types of people in the world -
those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I was brought up in the valve era, so for me there are 8 kinds of
people in the world.........

You recompense me for my lost earnings, *regardless* of the test
results, and I'll quite happily take part. Then chuck an extra £1k on
the table when I do prove that I'm right.

OK, £1000 and 20p it is!

For the record, I just took an order today that's going to make me about
5-6 times as much in profit as your "easy grand". And is probably going
to take me about as long. But then, it's already been mentioned on here
that someone's already risen to your challenge, proved themselves right,
and you've failed to pay up.

That is just another of your fairy tales, Richards. Actually, that's
*two* of your fairy tales................
