Subject: [gislist] GISlist Focus
Date:  03/22/2005 01:40:02 PM
From:  McGuire, Matt



I think you'll find the ESRI product support forums very active. Why people want to ask ESRI questions here must be a matter of personal preference. Personally, I find support.esri.com to have nearly all the ESRI specific answers for me. However, ESRI is GIS related, and this is a GIS list.

When talking baseball, don't be surprised when the Yankee fans show up.

(or futbol and Real Madrid, this is a worldwide list after all.)
