Money talks and quality talks.
We have a very productive relationship
with our vendors, who we know have
to make money survive, but we also
provide innovative feedback on their
products to help make them stronger.
Just this morning, I was passing on
info on the new Samba code to allow
proper PDC & other features (to be
released around end of summer), so
that will be integrated into this company's
network paradigm. They dislike Microsoft
as much as the next guy, but they need a
viable, stable and cost-effective alternative.

Old saw, that we all hate: Money talks. If we spend more money that the mfrs can see, they will invest in what we want.
Bill has more $$$ than I do; anyone else? ;-)
