Last week I was in a real technology bind. I needed good LINUX help quickly. I posted a request for help on this discussion board and within an hour I had some replies and within 3 hours I had some outstanding help on sight. Rick Meyerhoff came to the rescue and handled the situation with competence and professionalism. In addition, I received other calls with the offer to assist. I have been in this business for 27 years and cannot remember the last time I received such prompt, courteous and professional help. Thank you Rick, and thank you to the others who followed up with the offer of assistance.
