Sir:
You have absolutely no right to pollute this forum with *your* 
"fucking bullshit."  You bought a multi-vendor system without 
any support from any of your vendors or a qualified support organization
like a system integrator.  You obviously don't possess the capability
of debugging the problem in a rational manner.  And you make threats
of physical violence in a public place.  Over a telephone what you
have written here is assault.  Mr. Plocher could well have you arrested.
If you didn't know what a multivendor "everything for $199" multiuser
computer entails when you bought it means you are either very naive or 
very stupid.

In either case:  get it off this forum!  It doesn't belong here at all.
