Ah, yes.  I do recall a lawsuit about
non-response.  I didn't realise that
their extraordinarily high false alarm
rate was also part of the suit.  I think
Associated ended up replacing many
of those systems.  I never bothered
to bid on public school buildings.

I think that story or another one like it was posted here a while back.  You have to hand it to those guys though.  They can tell
prospective customers all that crap about their system and still keep a straight face.  I think even Olson would have a hard time
telling that one without bursting out laughing.
