I agree with this Jacob on this one *start customer feedback
mode, hope bri and others are listening* that I have people like
computone calling me everyday asking me if I want to buy one of their
racks and I always tell them I've got such great service from Livingston.
This idea of having to lay down more money when I've allready poured 5k
into the box while may seem 'small' is still another hit that is REALLY
not wanted *end customer beef*
