Wow. I don't recognize your name, but I went through exactly the same experience with the woefully inexperienced staff from AA. They burned $35M of the company's money before being booted out the door. Yet, they were such good salesmen, that management refused to listen to us techies when we complained about AA's incompetence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
