[joe harcz Comcast]

Or on Apple products for that matter.

By the way they've got good folks even still on this at the traiining 
center. Only problem is if it is you or me or most of us you can't get there 
from here.

You know cased closed and all that.

Gee you don't have to be labeled paranoid to know there is a plot to get 
us....Sad smile...

Now where is that consumer disatisfaction survey anyway....Grin...
