Since I thought that I would like
to have a handy utility, I replied that I would buy the copy of ST-Doctor.
He (I've removed the name to protect the guilty) emailed me an address
and a request for postage. OK, fair enough. I sent it right away. Last
night when I got home the package was there. I opened it right away.
Then I got PISSED!
It appeared to be a copied disk. The disk had no label. There was a
photo copied label of the original label cut out and placed on the disk.
Not stuck on, just placed on top of the disk! The edges of the 'label'
weren't even cut straight. The manual is the standard 35 pages you would
expect, the staples had been removed and not replaced. Makes it much
easier to copy the manual, you know.
Now, if I've judged this episode incorrectly, I will be more than willing
to publicly eat crow and appologize. However I don't think I owe the
appology.
I have been wronged! The author and publishers of this software have
been wronged! Atari users are wronged by this type of activity! This
seemed to be the place to air my anger.
You, sir (the un-named seller) are a cheap-assed cad. I do not appreciate
this type of treatment. I hope you have the decency to feel remorse.
Thanks for listening,
Terry
