"If the history of the twentieth century was marked by bloody struggles against totalitarian political power, then the history of the Twenty-first will likely be marked by efforts to curtail the excessive corporate power that grips the United States and is spreading throughout the world. This conflict between morality and prosperity isn't only about the survival of individualism. It's about the soul of technology, which created the Fast Food Nation. It could soon be the story of computing too."<br><br>Read all about it<br><br>~~~<br>"Our civil rights have no dependence upon our religious opinions more than our opinions in physics or geometry." --Thomas Jefferson

Well, we obviously ARE the fast food nation... I dunno if technology helped create that, tho ;)<br><br>Unconsiousness is bliss.

It's a rare fresh breath to talk to a company that is truly interested and concerned about the customer support/experience that it provides...<br><br>Many talk the talk, but few walk the walk... I think Stan is pushing MacMinute in the right direction....<br><br>I also have enjoyed the support I've received from Earthlink, Oracle, NetLedger.com, and Citibank, USAA (and all of it's subsidiaries) but there are countless others that I've hated dealing with...<br><br>Can anyone recommend their favorite companies to deal with on a support/relationship basis?<br><br>I like to reward good customer service when I can, and would love to know who I can dump if there are good competitors out there...<br><br>thanks in advance...<br><br>***<br>"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." <br> -- Ecclesiastes 10:2

i thought i'll bring back an absolutely dead, completely irrelevant and boring thread to life. is that illegal?<br><br>http://raszl.net

No..but what was the point? Were you trying to bring it to someone's attention? Hoping to add something to this?<br><br>
