I've been stung a few times when it came to hosting... there was a "company" called (names changed to protect the innocent) Poorwebspace that I bought a reseller package from for a year or so... they had this incredibly vibrant community forum and it was a great time, I learned a lot and made many friends... but when it came down to the crunch the whole thing was basically some fella in Wales and his girlfriend. I remember at one stage the girlfriend (who doubled up as the support contact) was moved from "support" to "accounts" due to some customer "making unnecessary sexual advances" or something. Must be hard, eh, if you pretend to be a large company, think you've "got it good", and folks are flirting with your girlfriend!! You would "move her to accounts", I guess... or perhaps send her down to Tesco to buy some more cans of beer ;-) The internet, eh! Love it or loathe it you can't ignore it. Sean ps. if anybody wants webhosting give me a shout. I don't have a girlfriend, but I do have a server and a cat who sometimes visits. You can flirt with the cat if you want, but just remember - Tesco Own Brand doesn't do... if you want to really win the cat's heart it has to be Whiskas. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
