- This is - again - simply untrue. I'll send you an email explaining how
- credit cards work...

- If you accept the US $35 for shipment, that's right. :-)
- For me that's about US $20 too much, but what can I do? :-(

- MWC ships Coherent, but I still got no update information... ;-)

-
- I had the same discussion with MWC via email. They stated that the
- main cost of Coherent is development and that eMedia doesn't get
- very low prices anyway. Do you think DM 5,- would help anything?

-
- Oversea letters? Never had one... Never had an update letter from
- eMedia either. Strange...
-
- That's very close to what I think and I used similar arguments when
- talking to MWC but it didn't help very much. *Ask* MWC about that.
- Maybe, if enough people complain, they change their policy...
- So, please email MWC directly (sales@mwc.com)
