http://www.mpccorp.com the company we use to order PCs and Servers has filed for Chapter 11. This has us biting our nails becasue we have at least 2 dozen servers out there that are still suposed to be under Warranty.
The University I work for owns about 750 Gateway computers with 4 year warranties and MPC bought Gateway a year or so ago, so we won't be getting parts, probably ever.
I knew back in the late 90's that Nortel was a badly organized place, they have a huge campus down here in Dallas. In one month they announced the hiring of 5,000 people and the firing of 8,000 or so. Yeah, in the same month. Real smart people.
