Unfortunately, some marketing 'genius' has been sending unsolicited
e-mail, not with ascend directly...hehe that bob@msn.com or something like
that. I think it's amusing, personally, to see the crap marketing puts
out. Then when you slam the sales reps on a technical issue they
basically fold and crawl away. Kevin, in my opinion, is the Ascend
version of MZ and does a wonderful job supporting his line of products.
It is good to see comparisons of products and I think both companies
garner new ideas for up-coming products.
But what will happen if either company is merged or acquired by someone
else? *shudder* Let's just put that out of our minds...
Just a thought...
