Hi there:
         Does anyone out there know what's happening with the Deluxe Paint
backup disks?  I sent a money order out 2 months ago to EA as I was instructed
to on the packaging.  That was two months ago.  I am now without the original
due to the copy protection objecting to the modification of the startup picture
(The book says this is not advised, it didn't say anything about it being
terminal).  Soo, I spent $130.00+ for a disk and a backup, I used the disk for
a week and it died, and I've seen naught of the backup.  I'm really irritated.
ECA make some excellent software, and then spoil it with overzealous protection
and non-existant follow-up service.  I want my backup Dammit!! (and a
replacement for the auto-destructive original)
Any information about the current state of affairs regarding EA's policy on  
backups would be appreciated greatly.

              Thanks in advance,
                                Caleb J. Howard

The above are my opinions, but they are for sale at reasonable prices.
