> From: PEABO > Subject: Macintosh 100 Awards > Date: 8-JAN-21:03: Mousing Around > Sculley, Gassee, and Kawasaki of Apple Computer, Inc. to present First Annual > Macintosh 100 Awards! > The most important people, products and companies in the Macintosh > community are to be honored at the First Annual Macintosh 100 Awards > Ceremony, sponsored by Redgate Communications Corporation (publishers > of the Macintosh Buyers Guide) and Apple Computer, Inc. > The Macintosh 100: > ... > COMPANIES -- > ... > Communications, Inc, First Byte, Inc., Forethought, Inc., General Computer I am amazed and disgusted that anyone would even considering honoring First Byte for anything. I have dealt with companies which made defective products. I have dealt with companies which did not fulfill their advertising promises. I have dealt with companies who didn't want to hear from dissatisfied customers. But First Byte is the only company I've dealt with which threatened me with legal action when I requested a refund! [Historical footnote: I did eventually receive a complete refund, even though I refused to a sign a letter stating that I had committed actionable, but undescribed, crimes against First Byte. My advice to all is: Don't buy anything from these *&%$ people. It can't possibly be worth it.]
