Then again maybe you need a better hammer or better connected news feed. Maybe all four... Several days ago I reported that the diskettes arrived here and the same day Marty Stewart reported that they were shipping. Please disclose either your source or the distributor so that we can put them on our "don't go near beaux eaux" list. Let's get some reality here. You can't put the rain back in the sky about the bug. It's there and anything else about it is irrelevant. The important remaining part is how to get the fix and when it will arrive. Marty Stewart posted the phone number to call some time back. Mine arrived last week. Did you follow Marty's instructions or have you just been hammering on your source with a major distributor of ISC? There's no love lost between you and Interactive; me neither for that matter. They're off the pot, not offering refunds, and read your warranty with regard to a lawsuit. It might call itself a license agreement, but it's an as-is warranty. I was going to email rather than post but your article is so blown out of proportion that I think it might mislead someone who doesn't know your feelings about ISC and who might think that you had followed published procedures to get the fix and had been declined. Let's join forces and flame ISC for something real, not some misinformation from an (by definition) unreliable and anonymous source. Your source is WRONG and you look a little silly frothing about something that is clearly contrary to the facts of the matter. If you didn't call the phone number Marty posted then what do you have to bitch about? BTW I didn't call it (213) 453-8649, I was going to wait for the smoke to clear, but I emailed. Marty says that they are sending it to everyone that called or emailed. If you don't know how to use the telephone or email, post again (we know you know how to do that) but be sure to cite your serial number and mailing address. I'm sure that they read news and would understand why you had to post. -- Bill Kennedy usenet {att,cs.utexas.edu,pyramid!daver}!ssbn.wlk.com!bill internet bill@ssbn.WLK.COM or attmail!ssbn!bill
