[Bradford] Online - a company not a question

[Devo Too]

That's useful, Alice. And reassuring. I read a lot of their blurb before 
signing up. But that doesn't always tell the whole story. Like how 
responsive they are. It's definitely the same outfit though.

They're making a hell of a meal of configuring Arch on a server. Been at 
it for about 21 or 22 hours now. But I'd wager the guy handling it 
dumped it for another task then forgot to hand it on before going home. 
I had to nudge them again a few hours ago.

The reason for the question was that they haven't actually handed 
anything over yet - now 3 days due to an earlier cockup of theirs - so I 
could still bale out and get a full refund. Oh well. Got too much on 
this weekend so with that reassurance they can have another couple of 
days to push it out.

Mine is small scale stuff too. But it does need an OS. ;-)

Thanks.

Mike
