It's worse than that. I guess he hasn't heard that Sprint Broadband is closing
operations soon. There was an announcement recently that both Sprint and AT&T
are dumping their wireless internet services.

Did he buy the systems without checking what OS was supported on them? DEC and
Compaq have always had a list of supported operating systems for each of their
systems. If he didn't check first then DEC and Compaq can't be blamed if the
operating system he wanted to run couldn't.
