probably us, and people like us:
We fail the 'dog and pony show' aspect...
Our place is functional and comfortable, not a futuristic showplace.
Our business is not only cash flow positive, but EVERYTHING is paid for.
land, building, equipment, generator.. except 3 vehicles.
Our employees are reasonably well paid, a little older and experienced
and not frazzled.
Security: Manned 24/7/365 and _NO-ONE_ is un-escorted in the colo space.
We're also armed to the teeth. :)
We've also been in business since 1989, and on-net since 1994 under the
same owners, management and core geeks.
We're in a non-glamourous telco heavy neighborhood.. Worldcom, Williams,
Sprint, Quest, etc.. all are neighbors. Not the sales office, the
switches.
