I think that persons other than Mac users must take heed from Greg's experience.
I have been in the process of selecting a fleet of 12 to 14 IBM PC-Compatibles
(ugh) to run UNIX (yay) and Everex was in the lead for several reasons. Hearing
about the abuse that Greg received, I have removed them from any consideration
whatsoever. I think that ANYONE who does ANY kind of business with Everex 
should listen to this warning.

Greg, Thanks for posting the article and speaking up the way you did. Equally
important is the way you did it. It is clear that you did everything possible
before giving up and telling others of your experience. Had you appeared hot-
headed or unfair, I don't think that I would have paid much attention to 
what you said.

I think I should point out my reasons for dumping Everex. My own performance
is judged not only on the performance and quality of the equipment that I
select, but also on the performance and responsiveness of the vendor that
supplies the hardware/software. It is obvious that Everex fails miserably in
the second category.

In this case, I AM the company, because I am doing the selection. The opinions
