I sorry it had been a long day but I believe it was the loader bug. I do
remember him saying that it wasn't a serious bug to take back the defective
units and would be an easy fix, but he was not able to fix them right then N
there do to the lag of equipment he needed.
And he said the problem would not be significant to prevent anyone from
exploring their new toys.

What kind of bug? I haven't run into anything yet (unless
this is the bootloader thing that Jim was talking about
before).
