- Hi all!
-
- On March 7th, frustrated at a ridiculously long-treaded piece of
- drivel about a scratched Aminet CD someone had purchased from Safe
- Harbour; I INCORRECTLY placed the following post:
-
- >Dale Currie bought Aminet 10from Safe Harbor Computers and found it
- >damaged.
-
- .....<<snip>>.....
-
- I INCORRECTLY ATTRIBUTED THIS "PURCHASE" TO CALE CURRIE AND I MOST
- SINCERELY WOULD LIKE TO RETRACT IT!
-
- In fact,....
- Dale Curry's post was in defense of Safe Harbor, whom he feels to be
- a reputable, and loyal, dealer. Lacking Web presence, Mr. Curry was
- putting in a few words in their defense.
-
- Without wishing to draw this matter out further, Mr. Currie sent me a
- private email post, curteous and most tolerant, explaining my error.
- "An officer and a gentleman".
-
- I replied that I had long and varied Amiga experience, having for awhile
- (late 1992 to C=closing in April'94) owned and run a large Amiga-only
- Toronto area dealership....BUT....that when it came to comms and the
- Internet, I was a 47-year old 'newbie'.
-
- I offered to print a retraction, Mr. Currie stated that under normal
- circumstances he would welcome one, but he took pity on this "newbie"
- and has indeed sent several subsequent, helpful messages to me with
- hints and just pleasant talk.
-
- Dale, even though you declined my offer of a retraction; I feel that it
- is not only necessary and ethical, but having now realized your
- involvement with AMITRIX DEVELOPMENT, of Edmonton, AB; I feel that I
- have possibly even compromised your business interests and your
- relations with Safe Harbor.
-
- It speaks volumes about AMITRIX DEVELOPMENT as well, when:
-
- i) Dale Currie was so quick to pick up on my error; but to 'speak to
- me privately' (email) about it.
-
- ii) That he, upon learning of my "47-year old newbie" problems; despite
- being a prodigious Amiga user in a lot of other ways since 1988, has
- taken so much time and effort to provide Internet support and hints
- by Email.
-
- I am sure that this sort of conduct, attention to detail and helpfulness
- is carried out to all of Amitrix's work.
-
-
- God...now I just hope that i'm posting this correctly...
-
- Regards,
