Well.  In the big world, there is such a thing as 24-hour service,
professional customer service representation, systemized trouble
resolution.  In short, quality.  Anything less than 100% commitment to
customer satisfaction leads some customers in search of another answer.

But, I don't charge for access to my little hobby Waffle system, so that's
not a moral dilemma for me.  Nothing's ever been promised, and most users
damn well don't know my home phone number!

However, that's not everyone's cup of tea.  On the topic of "trouble
resolution," I'm not really aware of any free/shareware software for
"trouble-ticket management."  Does anyone here know of such?  Or is that
strictly in the domain of Mega-$$$ companies?
