Are you saying that just because he has an accent, he can't design servers? You are a redneck.

I agree they maybe should have put someone else in the video to talk but just cause he has an accent doesn't mean he knows nothing. you are a racist bastard!

I can't understand a word this guy is saying. How could Dell put this guy in charge of server design.
