You know those old Internet tales about the "coffee cup CD player" and the like? I just got one

[DS1]

A guy called up to get a 64-bit compatible version of our software ( it already is ), and went on a whole one-sided discussion about how nothing's working and he's trying and tried all kinds of stuff.

Him: blah blah blah

Me: mmmhmm, yep

Him: blah blah blah

Me: mmmhmm, yep

Him: blah blah blah

Me: OK, what does it say when you try start it

Him: It says "this version not compatible, please contact manufacturer"

Me: OK, step 1

Him: Tried that, didn't work

Me: Step 2

Him: Tried that too, it didn't work either. Nothing on this machine seemed to work right.

Me: Seemed to work? What changed?

Him: I didn't change anything

Me: What's the machine saying when you try run it right now

Him: I can't run it right now

Me: Why not

Him: I already sent the machine back for a 32-bit version

Did you instruct him to use the neuralnet cat-5 to meat plug?
