Ever heard of not telling the truth. A good seller sells you everything
HE wants, even if there is nothing on that thing YOU need. So, it's easier
if the sold object is a very nice computer and you like computers, BUT
if you want to sell it to a lot of people -and not just the few, who want
to do a voicemailbox with it- you must tell them what they CAN do and not
what they COULD do (even if it's not true).
