[AT] OK boys, I need help!! OT Computer stuff

[charlie hill]

I agree that Sprint sucks.  We are lucky in that it has only been about 10
years since Sprint bought out our local Carolina Telephone and Telegraph
Company and most of our techs are from the old company and have the old
company attitude.  Carolina Telephone was as good a company as you can
imagine.  I wish we had them back.
