NO, the problem wasn't concentrating on product quality - the problem was
mismanagement (IMHO). Like, expanding too much and too quickly, trying to
make the company look good for going public, spending too much money on
things that didn't pay off, vLabs, plus alot of stupid money on unneccesary
things. They borrowed heavily, and probably would have made it if the
economy had stayed booming. But they didn't have any fallback when things
went south.
Which isn't to take anything away from the classes. It was a company with
alot of smart, talented people and it is sad to see what happened.

I took CVOICE with Mentortech the week they laid everyone off. At the end
of the week I got a 3 hour one-on-one tutorial with another instructor on
configuring ATM. It was very decent thing to do, given that this guy was
just canned. It's a real shame about Mentortech's demise, but I guess
that's what happens when you concentrate on product quality rather than
expansion.

I saw traffic earlier on groupstudy that they went bust but no one could
confirm it. Their website is still operating but no class schedule is
available.
