Holy crap. I've actually used Death Wish. Small world. They were awesome.
Of course, I moved something far less interesting - a piano. But I called them on a Tuesday and said "I need a piano moved by 1 PM tomorrow". They did it, no fuss, no muss, very professional, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. -- TTFN, patrick On Nov 07, 2014, at 14:09 , Barry Shein <b...@world.std.com> wrote: > > I remember when we got our SGI Challenge XL delivered.
