Hmm, lemme see... If it _looks_ like a turd , it _smells_ like a turd,
it _feels_ like a turd, Well, let's just call it a turd then, shall we?

With all the frustrations of computer (Which I dearly love, of course) I 
tend to want to AVOID uneccessary frustration, even the low end 'minor
nuisances' seem too much, especialy when I have to PAY for them!

Of course you disclaimed participation in the relative merits of the scheme
you just wanted to clarify if the scheme was a turd or not. :)


I'm _very_ glad I'm an ESIX customer, many times over. Wonderful pricing
(Just got my $99 Rev D. upgrade, with many nice new features and improvments)
Nice and competent technical support staff who you can actually call! (and they
never seem to have a busy signal....) Hmm, lemme see what else? OH YEAH!...

No turds!

BTW, standard disclaimers, I have absolutely no relation to ESIX
   unstandard disclaimers, I usualy am not into toilet humor, 'scuse the
                           turd analogy, it's just what came to my fertile
                           imagination! :)
