- You may think that working at home is a sign of support, I think of it as a
- sign that either the engineer is overworked meaning that Informix is
- cutting corners in support by having too few hands, or the engineer is lazy
- at work and has to take the spill home. I have a strong feeling the reason
- is not the latter.
-
- MEANWHILE, I still have a $2,000.00 software that does not do what it is
- supposed to do; my machine and my client's machine hangs up!!!!! when we
- try to delete password. Informix has refused to give support on this
- bug for reasond best known to Informix and its workers.
-
- Lastly,
- Please do not buy Infromix products, their tech support stinks.
-
- WHY?
- They wanted me to buy support before I can get help on a BUG that hangs up
- my machine EVEN ON THE SECOND DAY OF PROCUREMENT!!! Of course, I did not.
-
- WHAT HAPPENED?
- Nothing. Three months later, I am still waiting for HELP!!
