Our University is in a remote (rural) area of the country and we have been impressed by the success that remote organisations have had with Pick, being far away from technical and systems development support. We are predominatly orientated towards Unix here, but my department runs two ADDS Mentors alongside all the other iron and it forms a great addition to our teaching and consulting in particular. I'd love to hear from other Pick users out there. Perhaps even consider a new group at some stage if there is interest ?
