[mod.computers.vax] dec,allin1,printers and DECUS

EBIBISI@UTMEM1.BITNET.UUCP (02/22/87)

Hi All,
 
I really did not expect the volume of responses that I received regarding
DEC's problems with All-In-One and support of printers.  It seems that
many, many people are frustrated with both software and hardware, and feel
that DEC is not "in tune" with the real needs of those people trying to
implement Office Automation and that DEC does not, and seems unconcerned with
the fact that these "low-end" problems are of immediate concern.
 
Everyone that has responded to my initial plea for help has said the same:
"DEC has some problems in this regard, and let me tell you how we have
circumvented them by going to third-party vendors" or "tell me how you solve
this problem, we have the same one,too".
 
We are going to the next DECUS meeting in Nashville.  I have never been
to one before, but the people that I work with tell me that these ad-hoc
issues can be addresed through the "birds of a feather" sessions.  I would
like to invite anyone concerned with Office Automation and these problems
to contact us so that we may coordinate this session.
 
You may contact me via BITNET at EBIBISI@UTMEM1 or by ATT at (901)528-5848.
