Subject: -20- What's the best newsgroup in which to complain to SGI?

It depends on what you're complaining about. Most of the SGI
employees who read the SGI newsgroups are engineers and similar
useful people, not evil marketing policy-setters. If you feel, for
example, that NFS or Documenter's Workbench should be a standard part
of IRIX, don't post; call your sales rep and yell at them.
However, software bugs are better newsgroup material: an SGI person
may well see your message and fix the bug then and there.
Nonetheless, don't depend on it. Call the TAC and tell them too.
There's also a website that provides an interface for people to
publicly address complaints about various companies. It currently
doesn't have any complaints about SGI...
