Subject: Re: [gislist] ESRI support????
Date:  03/21/2005 01:30:02 PM
From:  Stephany Filimon



In fairness, I'd like to confirm what Gary said. Even though ESRI may
have taken a few days to get back to me, I was assured that they were
working on things, received email or phone updates, etc. Also, I was
at least told "there's no fix for this right now" and was not just
ignored or never contacted again.
