Rachel support questions. Please, refrain from sending your Rachel support questions to my personal email address (that is, gerald@vamphq.com) as I usually bounce them back untouched unless you hire me. Instead post your support questions at Rachel's discussion forum where I will happily answer them.

Gold Support Package. Note, that I am also available for hire in case you need dedicated support. See Yes, I'm available - Hire Me for details.

Elektronische Post in Deutsch ist willkommen solange sie mit der Anrede Sehr geehrter Herr Mag. Gerald Bauer beginnt ;-). (Das ist ein Scherz. Gerald ist ausreichend auch wenn ich mich sieben Jahre für den akademischen Titel abmühte und an der österreichischen Bürokratie fast verzweifelte. Bitte Duz' mich, da ich gegen "Sie" oder unpersönliche Passivkonstruktionen allergisch bin. Danke für Dein Verständnis.)

If you like wine, you can try my parent's Veltliner, Burgunder or Chardonnay. Check out fhbauer.at - Weinhauerhof Franz und Herta Bauer to find out more about my parent's family-run winery in Donauland in Austria. Note, that the site is in German.
