I doubt it.
They actually like me because I have been something like a beta tester
for their internet functionality. I also got to be quite friendly with
some of their techs talking shop and trading technical
computer/electronic insights -- their most experienced techs
paradoxically perhaps are the ones who are least experienced and
comfortable with "new-fangled" computer and Internet functionality.
(Plus they are the ones who gave me the software tools to access and
program my panel via the Internet.)
