Hi, I just wanted to share my recent technical service experience.
I had a keyboard failure (and after waiting 1/2 hour) I was connected with
technical service. They arranged to have the computer picked up that day,
and got it back in four days. So, at least in my case technical service
was reasonably quick.

government, is to live under the government of worse men." Plato
