Hahaha! They're the king of all incompatibilities.
"Your WinModem will run under Linux as a LinModem but it won't run under
Windows XP, I'm sorry. No, Microsoft has not decided to support such
antiquated hardware as that? No, ISA won't work, either. RAM? If you have
to ask you don't have enough. No, you must buy a new computer, and it must
be all Intel. No, AMD or Cyrix are not supported. No, it won't even boot.
No, your IBM hard drive won't work, you need to get Intel's new SCSI line.
No, that monitor won't work either. Yes, you have to get Intel's LCD
monitor. Okay, okay. Yes, thank you too. Goodbye."
