Hello o(2) fans...
Here is our story.
We received an O2 just a few weeks ago.
We ordered the button box, the presenter, and all the stuff we need.

Just a few surprising things about it...

1- No nfs on it. Normal, but NOBODY received any nfs software, so that
the reseller had to go and install nfs on every machine (only one cd-rom
for the whole town...).
Funny.

2- The FIRST box we received was the dials-and-button box. But the LAST
information we could get was that... the drivers are NOT YET written !!!
When will they be written ??? Nobody knows...
More funny.

3- we DID NOT receive the presenter, and I was said that the only
presenter arrived in Toulouse... did completely crash the machine as
soon as you plugged it !!! Plug, but not play.
More and more funny.

4- Except for those little details, it runs very well.
Thank you Sgi...
