- I've been working for two years on SGI equipment and have
- experienced the entire range of service quality. I've had night
- mares (several months to get a critical OS upgrade because our
- dials/buttons wouldn't work) and I've had people bend over
- backwards to make things work (next day service to replace a bad
- video board).
-
- In general I haven't been ecstatic with the service I've gotten
- from the hotline. However, the support that I've seen and
- experienced on the net has been excellent. The sgi people that
- monitor questions on the net (Olsen, Davis, Schryver et al) have
- done an EXCELLENT job. They answer graphics, OS, editor,
- network, printer, and NFS questions to name a few.
