- I read the great comments about "ARCHIMEDES DISC RESCUE" and decided that
- it might be worth getting it for myself.
-
- 35 Pounds (all inclusive)
-
- So I send it away + 8 dollars for the exchange of currency, only to be sent an
- invoice for 4 pounds additional overseas postage. It cost 4 pounds and 56 p,
- so if Look systems considers postage only costs 56 then it should write (+pp)
- for overseas orders.
-
- the original price
-
- 35 pounds = about 105 dollars + 8 for exchange = 113 dollars
- So
-
- 4 pounds = about 12 dollars + 8 for exchange = another 20 dollars
-
- or to put it bluntly another 18 percent
-
- My answer will be GET LOST. All Inclusive means just that.
-
- I think this stinks, I stopped buying Minerva software after Ancestry and now
- Look systems is about to follow. There are good software houses I won't
- support bad ones.
-
- By the way I changed one byte in the first sector of a floppy with a disk
- editor. The disk could still be mounted and the files copied off. But I ran
- the disk repair program to see if it could recover the files. It corrupted the
- disk and made the directory report that it was broken from then on and crashed
- whenever I ran any of the other applications. So as a secure product - it may
- fall short of expectations.
