Eric; I was a CONSULTANT. Have been a CONSULTANT for clients owning DEC/COMPAQ going back almost ten years. I am not a bad person, and I hope you like me. Because I want a chance to hit you over the head with my mail rhet - eric. My experiences with DEC have been spotty, from pretty good to hideously and expensively ineffectual. It's the unpredictability that really kills me. Sounds to me like you are angry about something. I can identify. You see, I hate sh*tty service, too. Oh, I'd call you a name, but I ran out of adjectives. :-) Hook aka a UNSATISFIED Customer Service Victim: COMPAQ. -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 5:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Eric: I am a CUSTOMER. Have been a CUSTOMER of Dec/Compaq for more than 20 years. In those 20 years I've ACTUALLY PAID MONEY FOR PRODUCTS. I'm not a lying vendor, nor am I a lying employee. My experiences with DEC/Conpaq have consistently been between good and excellent. Sounds to me like you're having a bad day (month? year?) If you got all of that out of Jon's comment, maybe you should be writing for the Jerry Springer show???? Barb aka a SATISFIED Compaq customer > ---------- > From: Eric D.
