Only yesterday I agreed with a colleague on how it is a bad thing to hide support pages to the public. Indeed, this is what Watchguard does. You can only reach their support pages if you have a login, validated through a support contract for their respective products. Even resellers don’t get special access, they […]
Instead of my habitual ego-surfing session, I was Googling the name of someone I haven’t seen in probably twenty years.
