- First of all, I did go through the BBS. Several times, with no
- response. Second of all, I did go through tech support. Many times.
- I've gotten promises from them, commitments, and absolutely nothing
- else. Plus, I've paid for the upgrade, I've paid enough long distance
- charges, and the last time I called via telephone, the estimated wait
- time, (long distance again), was over 20 minutes. As a customer, I
- expect the sales force to be concerned about their sales. I don't
- care about the internal structure of the organization, and I
- especially don't expect to be given such simple commitments and not
- have them filled. For that there is absolutely no excuse.
- (I work in tech support for another firm and I simply don't leave the
- office until all those commitments that can be satisfied quickly are)
