So I mailed him twice, once his Internet email address, and once his CompuServe address, no replies. So, I rang him up, it's a recorded message, so I left a message, and I am still waiting for a reply and my CD-ROM. The same thing happened when I placed my order. First I got an ack saying my fax order is received, but my VISA card numbers are not clearly visible, and required me to re-send. So I did through email, and asked a few questions, but I never got back any replies, and I have been checking my bill, and well there isn't anything happened yet. Until I received a letter dated 11th Oct 1994, saying the CD-ROM should be done by 14th Oct 1994 blah blah blah, and ASSURED me that my card will not get charged before the CD-ROM is shipped out. Even though I am in Australia, I don't think it should take them more than 1 month to ship a CD-ROM. Again, I am in the same situation as many of you that, the ONLY reason I bought the CD-ROM is for the sake of the documentation. Does anyone know what happens to their delivery ? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ M.C Wong Email: mcw@hpato.aus.hp.com Australian Telecom Operation Voice: +61 3 272 8058 Hewlett-Packard Australia Ltd Fax: +61 3 898 9257 31 Joseph St, Blackburn 3130, Australia OS: FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 http://hpautow.aus.hp.com:9999/~mcw/mcw.html (or http://hpautorf/~mcw)
