    Apology to Matrox and MURC...

    Just wanted to do a quick apology to those people at MGA and those at MURC. who have had to put up with me being an ****ole in the public forums and through email. I've been thinking about things and realized just how much of an ass i've been about things I probably shouldn't have...

    anyways... sorry...

    mods: move this to TSB if you want, just figured it had to do with the company...

    Things look fine from here DGhost. We both raised the heat a bit over norcimo, but he needed it. Norcimo is the kind of guy that won't last here at MURC. If you're clueless and calm, we'll educate you; if you're clueless and combatant (as he was), we'll knock you out of the park.

    Blah. Just come salsa dancing tonight and forget about it. That, or I might hit Horsetooth Lanes with some old work friends.

      Well, there was that. I was mostly referring to the way I have treated Haig and others about the banding issues. I have been a little bit... ermm... yeah :P

      these people are just doing there jobs, shouldn't make it that much harder for them.

        I'm waiting for shopmatrox to feature the official Matrox<font size=-2><sup>TM</sup></font> gag that they've put on Haig lately.

          Well when you are faced with having paid out so much money for a product with such a fault (that the company has known about all along) and the company concerned does nothing but buries its head in the sand about the issue you've every right to get damn well pissed off, I certainly would be.

            No need to apologize DG. I know nothing was personal. Being in this business as long as I and my staff have, our skin has turned into teflon

                  You have to know difference between tech support staff who is doing the job and takes all the flames and management who makes decisions and who is in lot's of cases responsible for what causes the flames (speaking generally and not about particular company).

                  And don't be a d*ck to those who are not guilty and are just doing their job. If however you get to speak (in rare occasions) to the one responsible flames are in order. But arguments and rhetorical crush is still better than swearing, insulting and yelling.

                  For instance this ISP tech support girl on the other side of phone line was very surprised when after telling about my complaints I explained that I understand it's not her fault and that's she's merely doing her job.

                  @Haig, I have yet to see better tech support.

                      I say Haig should start a boys-band, or go solo Ricky Martin-style.

                        But that would probably entail him giving up the life of a heterosexual

                        Seriously though, Haig and Matrox's Tech support staff are the best. Keep up the good work, MTS. You rock!

                          Judging by your avatar, I'm surprised you see that as an issue
