How not to make a good impression

We’re testing a new bit of software at work, because we really haven’t been happy with our current vendor’s level of support. Given the fact that we told the salesperson of this new vendor that was why we were looking at their product, wouldn’t you make extra-double sure that when you sent us download instructions to get a 30 day trial of your software that the instructions were correct? Or that the installation guide was up to date? Having to guess our way through the download and the installation because your documentation is not up to date, does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about your level of support.

    Angela, beat me to the details of the mystery weekend, including some pictures. I haven’t even offloaded pics from the CF card of my digital camera yet. I’m such a slacker. No, instead I was looking at some interesting things that came across my aggregator while I was sans internet connection. Check last nights postings…

    After downloading and installing the MS anti-spyware app, well it does work. Of course, being a somewhat careful surfer, the only place I notice it working is in the same areas that SP2 already took care of on XP, because the laptop I loaded it on is 2000. It asked me to shut down the…
