Hi!

I'm another user of FW1 with problems!

I'm in Israel (~10 minutes drive from checkpoint's HQ and labs!) and
I have a problem tickket open for 4 months! 
Their support is even worse then my worst dreams and I already told them so.
I does not seem to help. I'm still waiting for them to call me and say
they have fixed the BUG we found in the product!

Until then....  I guess they will not use me as a reference site!

-Yossi.
