The arrogance of this poster is astounding.  It's one
thing to complain about a problem, it's another to be as
insulting as this person has accomplished. 

The wonderful folks in NeXT's service department have gone
out of their way time and time again to handle problems we've
had with our NeXTs.  They have performed their jobs efficiently
and effectively every time we have called upon them.  The quality
of their response has more than once turned irritation with NeXT
into admiration.  I have personally had the pleasure of meeting
many of these fine, intelligent, top-notch people.  They are a
fine bunch by any standard, a credit to NeXT by any measure.
