At times user support at Rebel is slow as well. Have you any idea how
much emails I get a day? In the early days with no Internet you received
"some" letters. People had to sit down, write a letter, search for an
envelope, ask the wife if there are stamps left in the house, if not this
alone was a reason to put the letter in the trash and finally one has to
go through the rain to post the letter and wait 7-10 days for an answer.

Nowadays it is quite different, all you have to do is write an email and
press the SEND button. Worse, the image of the Internet is that you answer
FAST, preferable the same day.

The volume of user email support is certainly 50 and maybe 100 times
bigger than in the early days with no Internet. It is a major problem.
