    Let's hear it for Marianna

    A clent recently gave me a pokey old Avid Xpress.  Meridien I/O box.  Compaq Evo W8000 workstation.  Windows 2000 OS for goodness sake.  Anyway, it had a couple of projects I needed to revive on it, but I could not get it to work with the dongle, so yesterday I emailed Marianna.  As busy as she is, she responded within an hour, and by the end of the day, I had an updater file with which I was able to blast the dongle and restore this decade old Avid system to good working order.

    While you are hammering away on a deadline, grousing about this or that minor irritation, take a moment to consider that Avid created a position called Customer Advocate, and they were smart enough put Marianna in that position.  I have been around long enough to have learned non-linear editing on a Montage Picture Processor, and I do not take that fact or her for granted.  Thank you Marianna for being who you are and doing what you do for us.  We really appreciate it.

    In a PM after she'd spent over a week to successfully resolve a problem that I had recently I told her that her blood's worth bottling.

    Marianna Is a very very special lady.

    Hope that she would never ever leave Avid.

    She helped me so much about a month ago with the mess called upgrading to M.C 7 Symphony.

    Marianna always responds and is always helpful. Avid should be grateful that they have someone like her representing their company. More companies should have people as good as Marianna
