[comp.sys.encore] Flames

I think that everybody has a bone to pick with Encore's 
customer service.  

Flaming makes you feel better, sorta like popping the 
little plastic bubbles in packaging material.

I doubt that the people at Encore who are in a position
to make a difference about how customer service is handled
read this list.  Maybe I am wrong on this point.  If so, 
they certainly wouldn't be wise to let on at this juncture 
in time.

It is my hope that some people at Encore who *DO* know what 
is going on technically read this list.  It is precisely
those people that can help us most.

My point is that you really can't expect *ANYONE* at Encore
to be forthcoming with information if all they get is a
pounding in this media.  That is where this thread started,
trying to get some reliable information out of them.

Well, I have a vague idea what's going on, and I'd be happy to answer any
questions people toss my way (within the limits defined by confidential
information etc).  Unfortunately, I have no answers on matters regarding
schedules, support or sales; I'm just an engineer.
