Your inability to read is the problem.

I can read quite well. It's apparently your composition that
needs some addressing. I read what you wrote, what you wrote
was apparently not what you meant to communicate. You see, you
have to read the entire paragraph, and not pull part of it out
of context to get your meaning across.

To say what you intended, you should have written:

As an aside: It takes 10 minutes to send the instructions
to the rover. It must take a few minutes to/not respond
and try out the commands. Then it takes 10 minutes for
The signal to get back. FACTOR IN THE 60 REBOOTS,AND YOU GET
30 hours. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Everybody is equal here. It's just some people are more equal
than others.

From CNN <quote>
Engineers believe some sort of underlying hardware problem triggered the
crisis that has wreaked havoc with Spirit's software and forced the rover
to reboot its computer more than 60 times.

Probably Win98. Could be Internet Explorer. Should do a complete format,
re-install and just ignore the error messages that come up.

Actually it's VxWorks:
