A little difficult to determine what you are saying, other than in your opinion hardware is not really a core concern, because you were not able to get a hardware sponsor, but we may be able to hazard a guess by looking at kns which may appear on the screen, but then again nps may not appear on the screen. And, finally we may be told what hardware is being used, but then again we may not be told. Have I got it right? I see public relations is not your forte.
