# To add to the growing dispute over A2-Central, I should point out that A2-
# Central does indeed promise ALL your money back if you're not satisfied.  It's
# printed in the boilerplate on the back of each and every newsletter.
# 
# Tom, have you written to A2-Central?  (I can understand not wanting to call
# them; that might cost more than you paid for the subscription.) 

   I called.  They're 'looking into it'...


# [...]  The two examples cited (one about
# ShrinkIt and the other about AppleWorks 3.0) were quite good articles.  If you
# didn't have access to online information resources would you have known about
# ShrinkIt at all?

   Probably not, true, BUT I DO!!!  That's probably ONE of the reasons I
didn't like it!!


#  And the AppleWorks 3.0 article was the FIRST report on AW
# 3.0 published anywhere.  (If you saw it in InCider before A2-Central, the
# postal service messed up.  That particular A2-Central arrived in my mailbox
# almost a whole week before AW 3.0 was even officially announced!)
 
   Well...  I read it in inCider 2wks. before I got that issue of A2!

# I will admit that since I got my modem, A2-Central has lost some of its
# edge.  With a modem, I now have access to information as it is available,
# not two months after it is available.  So maybe that's why it didn't meet
# your high expectations.  But it sure does meet a lot of other peoples'
# expectations.

   Well if YOU like it, and enjoy it, GOOD FOR YOU!!  You'll recieve an 
enjoyable publication each month.  I DIDN'T so I don't want to recive it.
(Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...)
 
# Tom, if you haven't contacted A2-Central about this yet, I'll be happy to
# do so.  In fact, I'll forward this entire message thread to Tom Weishaar.
# I'm sure he'll see that you're taken care of as soon as possible.

    Well... As I said above, I have called.  Tell ya what,  DON'T contact A2
about this, let's see how long it takes them!
