- My good fellow, you've touched on a matter dear to me heart.
-
- I'm quite sure that if you work for "AmigaWhirled",you DO get the best service
- and support. I have spent over $4000 on GVP products and the only response I've
- ever gotten from GVP tech support is "You need to upgrade your motherboard to
- the latest rev.".
-
- If you look at the advertising in "AmigaWhirled", it becomes obvious why they
- think GVP is best. I dare say that the rag would cease to be without GVP's
- sizable investment.
-
- In fact, since the massive GVP ad dollars started rolling in, I can't remember
- seeing anything approaching a head to head comparison of say, ACCELERATORS.
-
- IMHO, GVP tech support SUCKS. When they start providing users with answers,when
-
- they start acknowledging bugs instead of trying to sell you umpteen number of $
- 50
- "upgrades", they MIGHT just win me back as a customer.
-
- And to the folks at "AmigaWorld", how 'bout some articles of VALUE to your user
- s?
- How about comparing head to head, GVP, Progressive, IVS etc. products?
- I can understand if you fear sanctions from GVP, but I hope you all realize you
- 'll
- never be taken seriously as long as this relationship exists.
