- Actually, you did better than I did. I called about a CPS: Extent not
- found problem that we had encountered two weeks earlier; in fact *we*
- had found the fix (since IBM had said it couldn't be repaired), and were
- trying to tell IBM how to fix it themselves. The guy manning the phone
- lines told me that our 60 day free support had expired three days ago,
- and if WE wanted to tell THEM how to fix THEIR bug, we would have to
- _pay_ the $129 or so for the priviledge. Sheesh.

- OS/2's a terrific product, but boy, is this kind of crap in support
