So, people are unhappy with Apollo's support? Well, my solution would be to send mail (that's right, the paper kind) to Apollo's service department, listing all of the times that you've had a problem allong with the callback #'s so that they can chase it down. I know, you're thinking: "Why would I do this when it's THEIR service dept.?" Well, Apollos may not be much liked around here by the peasants (read users), but we, the people who actually RTFMs, have discovered that the Apollos are machines worth using, and in cases like this, worth fighting for. I don't want to see Apollo get sucked under by HP's machinery, but unless some people out there start making HP worry about the consiquences, that's exactly what will happen, and one day Sun will come out with a product that makes YP a usable system, and someone will say: "Gee, that looks like an Apollo registry", to which the reply will be: "A what?" Don't let it happen, people... -AJS -- asherman@dino.ulowell.edu or asherman%cpe@swan.ulowell.edu Note that as of 7/18/90 that's asherman@dino.cpe.ulowell.edu "That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is."
