... I have found IRC to be very helpful, as long as the number of people online is kept to a reasonable level. It's similar to "the development team should ...
Yet another hosting question ... A while back I emailed everyone asking for some recommendations for a good place that does hosting at a reasonable price....
I've been using http://www.darkscapeonline.com/ for a couple of years. I've never had any issues with them concerning email, however, I don't receive a lot of...
I signed up for Dreamhost after hearing about it on this list. I move a couple of domains from Verio. I can understand you client wanting phone support, but...
IRC is a good technic for getting answers, too. I use to enter in some channels on IRC, the real problem is that sometimes people on IRC don't answer at...
... According to InforWorld yesterday (who is probably just quoting Mac spokespeople), the new Intel-based macmini is about 3-5 times "faster" than the current...
... I strongly agree. Honestly, for the ~$10/month price point you are simply not going to get useful phone support. As illustrated by the experience above, if...
I just received my new laptop yesterday (woo hoo!) and discovered an annoying dell policy: apparently they no longer ship their systems with either a Windows...
I've been using ICQ to communicate with some important clients and co workers since 1998 or so and it wrked very well. Now I'm still using that account...
Good feedback Keith & Eric. Thanks! I forwarded them on to my friend, and he agrees these are some good points in Dreamhost's favor. He's going to mull it...

... About a year and a half ago I fired up an old G4 iMac that was sitting around the office and loaded OSX on it. The thing was pathetically low on RAM (I...

... This is getting off-topic, but... My only experience working in a "pit" environment was a couple of years ago at a small start-up company (Jibe). We went...
I think you meant to address this to me, not Eric? Anyway, I remember that you had suggested this strategy onlist here a while back. I considered it, but I'm...
