The automated registration system works as well as it ever did, but
there's no manual backup/support on the occasions thing go wrong.

This isn't about programming, it's about having a system that charges
people's credit cards but sometimes fails to supply the goods. If Holger
doesn't have time to serve his customers, he should either stop taking
orders or appoiint an agent to handle the customer service side of
things. Note I said "service" not "support". The lack of tech support is
accepted when the order is placed, but basic services like ensuring that
product paid for is delivered should continue.

I don't consider that complaining when someone takes payment and fails
to deliver (for whatever reason) is bitching, and neither did others
when such comments were applied to other Amiga companies. Would your
reaction be the same if Miami had been ordered through Alive Mediasoft?

Cheers
