Very Computer

Does anyone know if they have been doing such a business, ripping off the
new customers or anyone know where else I can contact to receive the
CD-ROM or my money back?

Thank you,

Kaz Takigawa

I do not know what might be wrong ???

I received mine about week after I ordered it. It probably helped that
I was just 1 state away. I have seen others claim (in this msg thread
and others prior) that orders can take up to a month to receive.

I had a problem w/ my Release 3 (2/14/98) CD - it didn't arrive on time
& I had to call them twice to get it mailed correctly.  I would up with
two copies.  Release 4 arrived within 2 weeks without any problems
(other than a slight crack in the CD jewel box).

If you used release 3, you'll like release 4.  Only install errors (one
in gpm, and another in a package I didn't care about).

About a month ago I order the CD + (dopey) T-shirt deal from them, shortly

confirming shipment of my order.  

I've sent 2 follow up emails to them asking whether or not they
experianced issues with my order, but nobody has bothered to reply to
either of them.  As far as I'm concerned their service dept. sucks.

in all truth, yeah, they sometimes take a while. i attribute this to them
making a few bug fixes and such, pressing new cd's and such. this was the
case when i ordered v2 last summer, it took over a month to arrive. turns out
i was getting the improved v2 with bug fixes and such.

if you're really concerned, give them a call. no ned to be irate or rude,
they're good people there. they have a loyal customer base for a reason.

I received my cd rom in the mail about a week after I ordered it.

There is what a large number of people do, and that's download the *y
thing. Installation instructions are pretty basic on how to do this, and
the real nice thing is that it's _Free_.

Advance apologies folks, but this is getting fairly tiring. You don't need
to buy the CD to get it to run. Granted it might be simpler, but LinuxPPC
is not a simple OS when compared to MacOS.
