- I'm surprised to hear flames about SGI support (not in this post but others).
- We have had nothing but EXCELLENT support be it the TAC, FE service, salesmen
- or net help. The TAC is definately slower than the rest, but always reliable.
- But, I think you've got to be realistic and allow for that to some degree since
- probably most of them are working on more than one call at a time.
