I ordered a membership and MacWorkstation 3.1/Dialogue Builder/Event Handler at the same time with a credit card at the Developers conf in San Jose months ago... I got my membership materials last week.... I called about my Macworkstation order about 5 wks ago...They found my number and said MacWorkstation 3.1 wasn't out yet...I just called again...Now, they can't find my order! It was on the exact same bill as my membership! You figure it!! ================================================================== Phil Hunt "Wherever you go, there you are!!!"
