[comp.sys.mac.misc] Kudo's for Dantz..

I owuld jsut like to let all know how professional my FIRST dealing with 
Dantz Corp. was. 

I was at a customers site that had a Digital(tm) TLZ04 Dat tape they 
weren't using. My customer wanted to use this as a backup device for his 
Mac. Knowing that Retrospect does indeed B/U to DAT's, I figured what they 
heck, lets try it out. Well when we tried it didn't recognize the drive as 
a valid device. It did see the drive as a streaming device, but that was 
it.. After calling the Tech Dept, I talked with Charles and Bren.. After 
calling back with the correct ID for the TLZ04, Bren had me go into RESEDIT 
and change a few characters in ID string..Viola!! It now worked GREAT.. ANd 
fast too..... I must admit that this was GREAT support!!!! Not only did 
they know what they were doing, they didn't even ask about the customers 
sserial # or anything... I use FastbackII at home, but will also buy 
Retrospect, after this incident...

Now on a side note.. My friend moved his Mac from his dungeon downstairs to 
a room upstairs.. His wife mistakeingly canned his Quark3.0 manuals.. After 
a call to Quark for help they told him...

1) Whats your serial # before I talk to you....!!!
2) No you can't REPURCHASE your manuals...
3) Put in a Claim with your homeowners insurance, and BUY anther copy of 
Quark!!

Great service Huh.... Let's all commit fraud with our insurance.. Now I 
know why we pay so much for insurance.. I was going to look at getting 
Quark, but not now.. I'll stick with PM 4.0... Service will be the key NOW 
and in the FUTURE.. I'll gladly pay a little more for it...

I'll second that.  Here's another rave for Dantz's tech support.  I've
never had occasion to call them because of a problem with Retrospect,
but I've spoken with them twice about issues related to my Teac drive.

The people I spoke to were knowledgable and helpful, and didn't even
put me on hold once...  :-)

Retrospect is an excellent product, and one that is only further
enhanced by Dantz's top-notch technical support.
