Lets stop the company bashing

[thomas g. warner]

Guys this incessant kicking of this company is getting out of hand and you
are really just commenting now on something that you know nothing about, and
really irritating me.

I told you what the problem was and if you dont want to believe it fine. If
you know anything at all about computers or reorganizations, and it appears
you do not, than you know that these things happen and sometimes without
everyones knowledge. Believe it or not but this is not a perfect world.

Do you want to help or do you get some kick out of continuing this bashing.
W are getting a break from this company, and Fred Keppers saved us alot of
money, got us a $115 tool for $75. By my calculations he will save us about
$4000. Keep this up and one by one we will lose our suppliers and our
contacts. Give them a break.

Fellow GMC owners and wanna be's:
Gee, lets put this in the proper context. My comment was blown
way out of proportion. I was not bashing anyone in particular!
All I made reference to was the fact that some people make it a habit
of blaming a computer for their screw ups. I was not directing this
against Fred!! I have no idea what Fred did or did not do. When I
wrote the comment I was thinking about the problem Arch had with
his Statpower 40 and how they lost the unit. They blamed a computer.

I still stand by my original statment however that I'm tired of people
blaming computers for their own mistakes. By the way, I've been
involved with corporate america for over 30 years now both as an
employee and as a technology supplier. I think I understand a little
about the dynamics of how people and computers interact.

I'm also getting irritated at seeing my comments taken out of context .
I agree with you Tom, let's give it a rest. We have more important things
to discuss, like what is the best kind of toilet paper to use and what adult
beverage goes best while "listening to the babbling brook just 10 feet
from your door."

I couldn't have asked for a nicer person then Fred Keppers to do business
with, friendly and courteous. He even sent an e-mail to be sure we had
received our OTC 927. When we ordered Aug. 10 he stated he had only 2 at
that time. He even treated me like I knew what I was talking about, some
business men don,t as I am female. I think this bashing is unnecessary. Have
a little patience. You know sometimes it is our own fault for waiting till
the last minute to order something.
