So what practical steps does New.net need to take to reduce the load on the
help desks? Going out of business, getting rid of the dumb plug-in, and
using a proper root server network have already been suggested. What else
would help minimize the load on the network help desks?
I'll be taking real world solutions that can be offered here to the New.Net
CEO myself.
Don't bother to complain if you're not prepared to be part of the solution.
Thanks &
