The owner is said to be very well off financially. - I visited representing an internet company that has equipment installed in the building. I needed to service and retrieve some of the installation. I was told that it was all thrown away and that if anything is left its now their property. I offered to show their IT manager the equipment and map out the LAN wiring that I had installed to help them make use of it. No interest, it was all removed and thrown away. Clearly a lie since I have remote access to the equipment and the City uses some of it for the web-cam. The staff was just plain rude and dismissive Werner Yahoo!

Thanks guys, appreciate it. Sounds to me that while a lot has changed ... a lot hasn't. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
