As a hardware guy with over 22 yrs in this stinking business, let me give you my somewhat less than humble opinion 8o) Don't ever believe anyone that tells you a piece of hardware is "just like such-n-such" unless the person saying that is a device driver author. Salespeople ALWAYS say that sort of thing to make a sale, getting it to work will be your problem, and getting your money back is often more expensive than just buying another piece of hardware. Shooting the bastard seems like a good idea, but in the long run it's not, since most places on this earth we don't allow deadly force against slim ball capitalists (as opposed to decent capitalists).
