Dave, you and I have talked many times on the phone, so you know not to
take this personally, but...

I thought that a "nice Altos or NCR Tower" was an oxymoron, kinda like
military inteligence... ;-).  Actually I am only half kidding.  I guess
I like piecing my systems together, dispite the problems that involves.
I CERTAINLY don't like going to companies that won't tell you what software
of THEIRS to purchase unless you are on a service contract with them!

That's one place where places like Computone, Digiboard, SCO, and others
of their kind really shine... Pre-sales support, something Altos and NCR
know NOTHING about.

Matthew.
