- Well. In the big world, there is such a thing as 24-hour service,
- professional customer service representation, systemized trouble
- resolution. In short, quality. Anything less than 100% commitment to
- customer satisfaction leads some customers in search of another answer.
-
- But, I don't charge for access to my little hobby Waffle system, so that's
- not a moral dilemma for me. Nothing's ever been promised, and most users
- damn well don't know my home phone number!
-
- However, that's not everyone's cup of tea. On the topic of "trouble
- resolution," I'm not really aware of any free/shareware software for
- "trouble-ticket management." Does anyone here know of such? Or is that
- strictly in the domain of Mega-$$$ companies?
