- I have never used the SGI phone lines because I have never
- needed to! Invariably when I post a question here, it is
- answered within a day or two. Dave Olson and others are *very*
- helpful. Most recently, I had a crash that clobbered x-windows.
- I was afraid I'd face a night of system rebuilding, but several
- folks on the net (including SGI employees) quickly told me which
- configuration file got munged. In fact, I actually hesitated to
- try the fix they suggested because I couldn't believe it was that
- simple; after a couple days of manual reading I gave up and tried
- what the net wizards suggested--and in 5 minutes X-windows was
- back up!
