This hurts :(
One of our large customers cancelled one of our contracts ( a ~10 year contract), because PCS and Cellular technology has taken over the business just about everywhere, leaving the paging marked in the past :cry: ( I've been in the paging business for ~20 years now :!: )
Last friday, I went to shut down one machine at one of our customer's site, because they dropped complete support on paging, and they now concentrate strictly on Cellular market. I did take a snapshot to a log file of the "up time" of the machine running our paging system software, just before I shut down the machine. Don't even think about having this "up time" on a Windows machine :lol: # dmesg OpenBSD 2.6 (****) #0: Sat Apr 29 15:59:29 AST 2000 Fri May 9 14:29:19 EST 2003 ........ # uptime 2:29PM up 785 days, 3:43, 1 user, load averages: 0.06, 0.08, 0.08 Still, I feel very good for providing a piece of software that has performed for so long on a system, without any problems at all :!: That's what Unix does :) Don't you wish your WinDoZe machine would behave like that :wink: -kwag |
sorry to hear about the contract. hopefully you charged a penalty for breaking the deal or a buyout of some kind. i won't do anything unless its in writing with deals spelled out clearly. first n last month's rent kind of thing.
personally i just cancelled my pager last month too. i've had it since 1989, with the same provider too..... 8O ztr |
That's a shame about the cancellation of the pager contract. I wish so much that cell phones would become banned and if you saw the way people drive around here you'd understand why :wink:
There's not an emoticon nasty enough to describe my hatred for cell phones :!: Sorry to go off on a tangent :lol: 785 days uh? 8O Not bad! :D |
