>WOW, Ray, you seem real upset and your professionalism is similar to a

The last time I told my customer that there server would be up and running on
Thursday and on Monday I had not even started to work on, not only did I never
see a penny of their money, but they also never called back. Not only that, but
I make sure that this situation never happens.

We are talking about people who are making commitments and entering into 
contracts that they have no intention on coming through on. I wonder if MCI
is going to have a class action law suit against them for breach of contract.

That all great and fine. However, they have made a impression on too many people.
No, MCI is not going to go out of business, they just need to learn from their 
mistakes. Want a good example, look at Intel and the pentium bug. Look at all
the grief that caused everyone for absolutly no reason. 

>I would suggest that you get back with your MCI representative and ask 
>that your order be put back in que!

Yeah.... just think... there giving away due dates again.... We will have your 
connection in next wednesday..... I promise.... I just don't know which 
Wednesday.

Very important note. I am very satisfied with my MCI service.... now that it's in.
I just think MCI needs to learn how to do business. I got 3 install dates, all about
4 weeks apart, then came a bunch of dates that were weeks apart. I lost alot
of money becuase of it. Yes, I am bitter about that. Not becuase I lost the money
but becuase I went with someone who I respected as a 'leader' and found out 
that they had repeadly lied to me.
