unfuckingbelievable...

fuck you cisco!

i've been "asked" to help install a vpn client on the CIO's Treo 700w, so i was given a link to anthaVPN. i managed to dload it only to discover that there is no way to dload it on the Treo itself, so i gave it back with instructions for him to dload it and use ActiveSync (which took him a multitude of attempts before succeeding) to get it installed on his Treo. he handed it back to me and i started following the instructions from anthaVPN only to have it not work as expected. i sent them an email and afterwards, wondered if cisco (fuck you!) had a native client we could use instead. (we use it on our VPN)

well, i start to navigate thru the maze that is cisco's (fuck you!) site only to discover that a) they don't have a client and b) to verify this i have to register for their site. ok, that's fine so i go thru the process and after a while (last night) i get the 'click here to confirm your registration' email. i complete my registration and in sets my frustration.

1. they decide i'm a guess, so i'm not worthy of getting even the most basic (in my mind) info
   
2. i have to continually log in, and each time, the log in doesn't take me to the page i'm wanting to goto, but some idiot page that say i'm logged in. if i press back and try again, it tells me i have to log in again. i find the page again, and i have to log in again.
   
3. i tried this using both firefox and IE, and both browsers exhibit the SAME BEHAVIOR.
   
4. i used to think that cisco (FUCK YOU!) was a good company, but if this is the business model they are using, this fucking sucks.
   
5. i never had a problem accessing basic things like the ability to dload the latest vpn client until now.
   

so needless to say, i'm pissed at them right now, and i'm hoping that DH has some sort of information i can use to up my 'dog poo on the cisco (FUCK YOU!) shoe' status to something more functional. but at the very least, as our company is a CUSTOMER USING THEIR PRODUCTS IN ALL OF OUR OFFICES, you'd think we'd be treated with a little more respect.

so i end this with my homage to cisco (FUCK YOU!)
