I'm sorry, Pete, nobody except yourself is prevaricating. Everyone can see that, except your goodself.

Yes, you did, there were none. The problem was, they didn't accord with your desires, so you had to create some.

You really don't get it, do you? That was the first thing I did when I got the thing home, to make sure I'd understood all Herr Baschung's directions. I was unclear as to how to do the phone bit. The instructions explained that well.

No, I didn't and I have no intention of doing so, until it goes back. Even assuming that it did work, if it requires this amount of mucking about, I'm not interested. In addition, the horrendous price charged means I want an instant miracle, not groping around in an attempt to find something, anything it does. CHF1198 will buy me the whole of the Gardiner cantata series. On the one hand, I get some the greatest music ever written, forever to savour and enjoy, on the other hand I get a funny aluminium cylinder that shines a pretty-coloured blue light and does nothing else. No contest.
