As an employee maybe but I tell you it was miserable trying to find out what I could get and then how much money it was going to be. I did go through the cycle first hand I am find it hard that I would consider starting the process again. >> I was trying to get the experience of 3 1U servers but that price sent >> me way over the budget. > > Which is one of the reasons they have a qualifying process up front. > Rackspace is not for someone looking for the cheapest way to go; they're more > of a Nordstroms instead of a Wal-Mart.

Sorry to tell you that killing 20 min at a pop from my day is not what I wanted. Does the stick up your ass feel good? Nordstroms can go fuck off. If I wanted to go through that experience I would get that from the get go if it were a non virtual space. I could see all the wonderful cars in the parking lot or the fabulous items as soon as I crossed the threshold of the store. In the current experience I was led along and in the end treated like dirt. I don't need to waste either of our time or do you folks keep score on how much time your waste of those people who call in? Is there a bonus at the end of qtr to reward the top ass hole on the phone lines? I just don't get it and they failed to attempt to explain it on the onset. The website #FAILS to present this on the front side. I know you don't make these decisions and you are not asked for an opinion on this. Don't take this personal. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
