[net.micro] Convergent Technologies MegaFrame

Last week I posted an article about the Convergent Technologies
Megaframe that our office has been using for a large
project. The article came across in a way that was not intended and
I wish to clarify what I wrote.

	1. The opinions expressed in the article were my own 
	   and not that of my employer or even of my
	   work group officially or unofficially.

	2. The article came across as a flame in its language although
	   my purpose was not to be critical of any individuals nor
	   to anger my employer's business associates.
	   My purpose was to get in contact with other users of
	   the Convergent Tech. MegaFrame and see what their
	   experience has been in order to provide mutual benefit
	   in dealing with any difficulties with the product.

	3. There are lots of positive things I have to say about
	   Convergent Technologies, their staff and their product.
	   Even though we have not purchased our MegaFrames directly
	   from Convergent Technologies (but rather through an OEM),
	   they have provided us with excellent support. We have
	   received from them special releases of the operating
	   system just to deal with certain problems only we
	   were experiencing due to the unusual configuration of
	   our system and the demands we were placing on it.
	   On several occasions senior engineers came on-site to
	   work with us to resolve some of the difficulties we
	   were experiencing, often for long hours on a weekend!!
	   Without exception, every engineer that I had opportunity
	   to work with was highly qualified and easy to work with.

	4. My personal opinion is that the modularity and expandability
	   in the architecture of the MegaFrame along with the 
	   support we have gotten from Convergent (and our OEM)
	   leads me to believe that we have made a good choice in
	   selecting the MegaFrame for our project.
