Hi,
Now I am really annoyed.

Yes I was aware of the existence of the server. I was also aware of
many problem with this server. I frankly do not have the time or energy
to get into another debate over purchasing a GNU server vs trying to
convert the Toshiba box into a GNU server.
Here are the reasons why I made this decision:
1 The Toshiba box has many conditions attached, which keep on changing
2 There was no spare GNU box we could use
3 We had all agreed to host our primary site on a GNU box
4 We had no site for 2 weeks
5 I was not going to wait another 2 weeks to see if we could reach an
agreement with the FSF (and the other parties involved) on the Toshiba
box becoming a GNU box.
I also I remember discussing this matter with you in your lounge room.
I don't know what has changed, or maybe you misunderstood what I was
saying when we had that discussion. At the time you agreed with what I
did in relation to the new server. Oh did I mention I was meant to be
enjoying my holiday in Europe when I sorted out this problem?
Why during every discussion where someone is feeling like they are not
getting their own way does the f*king Toshiba box come up? IMHO we
should get rid of the Toshiba box, I think it will grow to become the
test site for Skynet in this project.
