- I don't know, they never call me...
-
- I dutifully fill out their questionnaires, in exchange for which they
- promise to send me a full(er) set of tech docs, and it never arrives
- (never: 7+ months in this case).
-
- Their sales people keep quoting me software prices and try to scare me into
- buying my own copies of everything even though a site license agreement is
- in place with my university.
-
- Their support people are quick and good, in my limited experience (2 phone
- calls replied to by e-mail, as requested).
-

-
- I'd love to get Hot Mix II. I was very impressed with PV-Wave demo available
- on Hot Mix I (so much faster than other implementations I worked with, Sun and
- VAX), and keep it around to show to visitors even though I myself use other
- software.
