Ummm, I bought Pro Page 1.3 in December and registered at the beginning of January. I then bought TransWrite and also registered, also sending a letter to Gold Disk asking a couple of questions. Certainly, I've had nothing at all back from them. No acknowledgment, and what happened to the newsletter that supposed to be sent out? I'm in the U.K., and hoping (like in the U.S.) to receive V2.0 for free. Chasing a Canadian company from England isn't going to be much fun. Pro Page is a great product, but I wish Gold Disk's after-sales service was equally as impressive. ================================================================================ Mike Laskey \||/ Karina from Seasalter Contact address: || Mystic Mage UUCP || of Alteration LASKEY@UK.CO.PCR.SVAX05 /||\ "See you in the Astral plane" ================================================================================

I bought Pro Page 1.3 in December and registered it with the understanding
I was eligable for the 2.0 upgrade for free. About a month ago I recieved
an 'Upgrade to 2.0 for only $75' flyer. I called Gold Disk, and asked them
what was going on, I thought I was supposed to get it for free?
They told me to disregard the letter that they were mailing it to all registered
users, and I should get my 2.0 in the mail (free) RSN.
Still waiting...
I think I will call them back and see what the deal is.

Well, their service must be very uneven. Or maybe I'm just lucky? I bought ProPage 1.3 late last year. I was waiting for ProPage 2.0 to be released, but the box had a 'free upgrade' sticker, and I had the cash and ... I sent in my registration some weeks later (I tend to procastinate too much), along with a letter that I was interested in the upgrade when it was released. I also purchased the Compugraphic font package that was offered at a reduced rate. Maybe the fact that I purchased this extra item made them more responsive? :-> However, since I wanted the fonts, and the cost was less than I would otherwise have had to pay, it seemed reasonable to me. Anyway, the fonts arrived a reasonably short time later, followed by ProPage 2.0 a few weeks ago. The only down side is that my personal life has been rather busy lately, so that I have had *no* time to play with it. Personally, I think that the simple letter prompted Gold Disk to be more responsive. Maybe not, since I seem to recall that other people, who are waiting for ProPage 2.0, also sent letters.

Hey I'm in the U.K. too. I received my upgrade to 2.0 just this very morning - looks pretty good. I phoned Gold Disk about 2 1/2 weeks ago and paid $75 for the upgrade which includes postage to the U.K.. Not bad going - last time I ordered something from the U.S. it took 6 weeks by mail. >Pro Page is a great product, but I wish Gold Disk's after-sales service was >equally as impressive. 2.0 is even better, I hope you get yours soon. >Mike Laskey \||/ Karina from Seasalter Regards. -- Koshy Abraham UUCP: ...!uunet!mcsun!ukc!pyrltd!abekrd!koshy Abekas Video Systems Ltd.

Hey I'm in the U.K. too. I received my upgrade to 2.0 just this very morning - looks pretty good. Well I`m from Finland and I got V2.01 Beta last Friday. I`m very impressed because of their fast service. I send my bug report to them from V2.0 about 2 weeks before they send me this one. Here is the list what have been fixed in 2.01Beta: Crashing with Amiga Fonts (Happened with SetPatch V1.38), this was my original problem! Problems with A2024 or Moniterm monitor. Corrupted documents sometimes. (Well never happened to me!) Problems bit bitmaps! (No problems either!) I don`t think there is need for this new beta upgrade if you have no problems with V2.0. I also got a letter from GDisk and they said that they are sending final version from V2.01 in couple of weeks. Well, I`m waiting!! >Pro Page is a great product, but I wish Gold Disk's after-sales service was >equally as impressive. 2.0 is even better, I hope you get yours soon.
