Microsoft or IBM they are all the same.
I had troubles communicating with them at several and different occasions,
and they are only guided by greed.
Any question, (even the time of day) and they say they will have to charge
you!
(I'm kidding about the time of day) but it could well be the same.
I am so disgusted with them both, ( with plenty of reasons) that I decided
to stay away from them.
They are playing ball, in the sense, one will tell you it's a software
problem, and the other will tell you it's an hardware problem.
Next time, I'll buy anything but IBM, and try to stay away from Microsoft!
Fed up!
John.-
