Owned a company that provided support to IBM installs during the 80’s and 90’s.
Was a VAR too.
Always amazed me how much Big Blue’s customer’s in all the mid and large shops in the area HATED IBM. Hated their manipulative ways, hated their service contract games, hated their fees, hated the lies and half truths told by their sales people.
We made money by being the access to IBM product with out having to deal with IBM.
Good for you!
The lies was what my husband hated the most - not just to the customers, but to the IBMers.
