- You are not the only one grunting. We have been prommised fixes
- and updates for over a year. They do keep on sending us phamflets
- telling us that they are up to 3.2.3 with new fortran, X11R5 etc.
- But after a simple phone call one learns that "mayby next month?"
- will be the time.
-
- I wonder if this kind of service is world wide or just in some
- countries.
-
- The machines are nice the service stinks
