Saddest thing I heard at the con was that Applink was closing. :(

It's pretty common knowledge that you were (and in my book still are) a huge asset to this community with your knowledge and willingness to harrass people to get our connections right.

Hopefully all will go well in the future for ya - cats always land on their feet :) Even network ones. Be seeing ya at next years con? :)

Good luck

  HIS Company is closing? WTF!!! Why? He's in a great market. Baaa, I bet he's been squeezed by the big boys.
 
 I work in the Telcom Industry... it has some real sharp indiv's and some serious morons. Skuzzy was sharp and helpful. He always seemed to go the extra mile for people.

It is hard leaving and shutting down AppLink.  Let's just say the telcos won.  While I had plans to keep AppLink healthy,...I just ran out of time and money.

It has been a pleasure to work with all of you.  You guys and gals are part of something special, whether you realize it or not.  I am grateful for the time I had and all the people I got to meet.

Timing for me could not have been worse, with the economy being what it is.  No investors out there at all willing to dole out any capital, no matter how sound of an idea you have, so i will be looking for a job, starting today.

This will be my last post, as I will not have an Internet connection as I pack the last remnants of AppLink up.

to all of you guys and gals for making time at AppLink enjoyable.  Hehe,..I actually do enjoy this work.  I appreciate all the comments and support.

On the upside, I have been very fortunate to have been associated with HTC and watched them fullfill thier dreams as well as being part of a community that is just incredible.

Thanks to all and a hearty

Sorry to hear that Skuzzy.

Seems the small ISPs are being squezed away by the larger telcos and such.  Same thing happened up here in Maine a year or so ago.  Everyone ran to the big guys promising low rates.  Then the big guys upped the prices, and people got upset with long tech support hold times, etc etc.  Small Companies have that personal touch and even if they can't always muster the same low rates as the larger guys, you cant put a price on talking to someone minus a huge hold time.



Let us know how you make out.  And I wanna see your 3DMark Scores with that Radeon 9700 (when its out) versus my GeForce 4 4600 someday!  :D

Godspeed Skuzzy.

At the risk of sounding calloused or cliche, how interesting would life be if things didn't change or everything were guaranteed?

Skuzzy. You were a cornerstone here, and contributed a lot to AH's success by helping us getting the best out of our connection.

I hope you'll continue to browse this board from time to time, and give us some news about you.

"Skuzzy"

There's no way to say it other than: I appriciate all you did for me and how you handled my account. Applink was a great ISP and you made it that way. Good Luck and I wish you the best in everything you do.
