I knew when Andrews bought DB Products that is the way it would turn
out. I have consulted for Andrews Corp. DB products was much like a
sister company that I worked for at one time, If you were a customer
or may be a custmer they would bend over backwords for you. In this
day and time of the MBAs and Bean counters Customers and customer
support cost too much to be bothered with and the savings can be
added to the bottom line for the CEO and stock holders. I liked it
better when the customers was king and the CEO was beholding to him.
Sorry for the soap box.
