- What happened to WTS? They sucked me in for a 4000/030 in '94, needless to say I
- never got it :-(. I was in contact with their local Trading Standards people and
- the local fraud squad, but I have not heard anything since last year. I was most
- surprised to recieve a flatbed scanner (a Microtek, not the Epson I had asked
- for :^( in "part payment" towards the 4000, along with a note saying a laser
- printer would follow in a few weeks. That was August 1995......
-
- Are they still in business, I know Amiga Computing had to publish an apology
- after they said WTS were being investigated for fraud, that one really annoyed
- me.
