What About Quixtar? :: View topic - Alticor visits us!! In their previous visit, our friends at Alticor came in for one page to read, and that was for topic #71. It is interesting that Alticor makes it a point ot visit us, bookmark multiple pages for later viewing...in many cases multiple reviewing of the same pages (especially those related to TOD), yet they refuse all of our offers to join in and discuss anything.
