The amount of material and email marketing and telemarketing and 
trinkets and toys and junk mail and posters and whatnot they sent my way 
for years was a turnoff.  They just wouldn't take no for an answer.  
Some of their phone calls were to the point of "you must not be 
understanding what we have to offer or you would buy".  One even asked 
for the name of the CEO in order to talk to him to "clarify" things.  I 
am not kidding.  Since I knew the CEO and they didn't, I let them talk 
to him.  After he was finished with them, I never got another call.

I'm not interested in going through that again.  It left a really bad 
taste.  That's my Help/Systems experience.

ASC on the other hand has been wonderful.  No complaints other than I 
wish SEQUEL was less expensive, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

Since Help/Systems is the buy_er_ and ASC the buy_ee_, I'm 'pessimistic' 
on which culture will be supreme.
