- I just received my next day delievery of MacIntercomm from Mac'sPlace. From
- the description in the ad, the MacIntercomm I was ordering was suppose to have
- a legendary "powerful scripting" w/the package I ordered. That it not what I
- received. I got version 1.0 w/a bastardly little readme saying that I only
- received version 1.0 of MacIntercomm and I had to send in my registration card
- to get version 1.1 (w/scripting). It was my understanding that version 1.1 had
- already been released and that exactly why I waited to order several monthes
- after the first version had been released. The little note inside the box
- implies that the 1.1 version had been released in August. Has this been
- released or not?!
-
- Nothing could have pissed me off more than to already paid my 80 bucks for a
- program w/o scripting--the only reason that finally made me decide to order it.
- I suggest that Mac'sPlace redo their damn ad to make it plain and
- obvious that 1.0 is being shipped and you have to send out a registration card
- to get the new version.
-
- Mercury's policy of upgrading is pure bullshit. I bought the damn program and
- had it shipped over night just to get the 1.0 version (useless as it may be)
- the damn registration card to send in. What service, eh? Then I made a long
- distance call to Mercury system to get a damn answering machine. Wow! There
- is a little more money I've wasted nicely. Well, its good to complain,
- I thank you for reading my bitching. Has anybody else had this same problem or
- am I the only one that pissed off over this? Is the 1.1 version really
- released? If not, I'm going to package up this damn box and send it back to
- Mac'sPlace.
