I wish to note that this is a translation of a message he sent
me. That may explain the introduction he used. He sent the message
to me, and I translated all of it.

Anyway, he has sent some earlier messages which had some information
but which his limited knowledge of English prohibited him from
expressing. More information may be found in those messages
concerning what kind of hardware he is using.

In any case, what is posted here in return I hereby volunteer to
try to translate for him, and forward via separate e-mail.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
