[comp.sys.mac] VAMP McCAD EDS-1 Software

lylea@iscuva.ISCS.COM (Lyle Albertson) (03/09/89)

Hello,

A couple of weeks ago I posted and received no responses... so here goes again.

I am interested in purchasing the VAMP McCAD EDS-1 Schematic Capture/PCB Layout
software package.  However, they do not have a money back guarantee, and the
demo diskettes are lacking in a few areas to adequately evalute a package that
costs $1500.  Several times I have asked the salesman for the name of a
customer (satisfied I would hope) who would not mind answering a few questions.
Each time he gave me some sob story, that it was too much trouble for him to
contact someone and get their Ok.

If anyone, is using the package and would not mind some questions about the
package, please post here or E-Mail your name and number to me.  Thanks.

Any salesman who told me it was too much trouble to contact a satisfied
customer would raise in my mind the possibility there were none.  I would
definitely not buy a product from such a salesman.  Indeed, I would be
reluctant to buy the product from any salesman unless I were convinced he
was a clinker and did not represent company policy.

Why not contact the company and find out if this is policy?  I'm sure if
it is you will wisely take your money elsewhere.  If it is not I'm sure
they will be pleased to find out about a salesman who's making the company
look like they have something to hide.

In any case, DO NOT buy this, or any other, product who's salesman refuses
references.
