- Alas, not my experience.
- We tried an evaluation of BW-NFS in July.
- Sent a technical query by fax 23rd. July. No reply.
- I sent email message 29th. July. No reply.
- I sent a final fax 6th. August, including the final sentence: "If I do not
- receive a reply to this fax, I will have no further dealings or communications
- with your company." No reply.
-
- I cannot comprehend, and will not do business with, a company that ignores
- three enquiries from a prospect.
