RE: Midrange Computing Closed

That seems to be typical of UK companies, don't why they buy stuff that they are going to toss down the drain?

I suggest that you should save your money.  IIR decided to throw away MC,
and unless you want to pony up money (*LOTS), they could care less.  All of
the employees were terminated yesterday, and they're all looking for jobs
now.  They got no severance, or anything.  Effectively, there's nothing
left.

Shannon,

REALLY sorry to hear this my friend - I never DID get the stuff to you that
we talked about last year :-)

So who at IIR Publications can we, as "customers" vent at ? I will be MORE
than happy to do that !
