I wasnt gloating, just commenting on your bit at the top that
'it wasn't really their fault'. Corse it was, they fucked up the QC.

BG> just in case Mr Murphy is listening.

Thats why you HAVE decent QC, coz he often is.

Dunno, Frankowitz its being pretty fucking evasive, wouldnt surprise me
in the slightest if some complete dork in USR managed to order the wrong
version of the flashrom from AMD and the fuckwits didnt catch that in QC.
