- A follow-up to the screamin' 'n hollerin' story.
-
- Today I got the EE upgrade tonnage via Airborne Express!
-
- Today I got a call from a nice young lady from IBM Boca, enquiring about
- the upgrade details, problems and offering help. (Too bad the upgrade
- got to me an hour before the call!)
-
- Today I received an email message via Internet from an IBMer (Internet
- relay point to the Upgrade bureaucrats) - again asking for the gory
- details.
-
- Has IBM got problems dealing with the public? Hell, yes. Is IBM trying
- honestly to fix the problems? I think so. The wheels seem to turn ever so
- slowly, but, hey, they're turning. And hey, they are _BIG_ wheels. inertia
- and all that.
-
- One nightmare ends. Now on to the others...;-)
