Hello, Richard,
Yes, I very much agree that it is no way to run an airline, railroad, or a
software distributor. Haven't they ever heard of insurance or registration?
For just a little more, the post office gurantees to deliver your package
and you can track it all the way without leaving the comfort of your
computer chair! Well, tht is not too surprising. I ran afoul, and I do
mean foul in the worst sense of the word, of another company that I wanted
something from. They told me they were adding about twelve dollars to cover
shipping by UPS. They said there would be no insurance except for the few
dollars USP would pay for a lost package. I asked them to ship it through
the US Post Office, the fastest and surest way, also the cheapest. The
shipping clerk (spelled J E R K) said company policy forbade use of the Post
office, and besides, he had no idea of where a post office was or even if
the postal service covered his city. Now, how about that! I told him he
must be related to the shipping clerk I met about a month before who told
me I had to fill out a customs form for shipment to Hawaii or Alaska because
they were foreign countries. He told me he was as lot smarter than that,
everybody knows that Alaska is a state, You only have to make out the
customs form for Hawaii. By that time, I was laughing so hard that I almost
couldn't tell him to cancel the order, that I would rather do without for a
while.
If I were you, I would ask Humanware to refund my money. You are much
better of without that buggy upgrade. Since they have no data on who they
shipped to or whether the shipments arrived or not, let's all of us ask for
full refunds!! Panic and Chaos are so much fun!

Greetings:
Some of my co-workers have finally received their 6.1 upgrades.
However, not all of the upgrades have been received.
Accordingly, one of my co-workers contacted Humanware. Humanware stated
that there is no tracking done on any upgrade that is sent, therefore no
way to determine whether or not an individual upgrade has been shipped.
They further stated that they were out of stock on upgrade packages, and
that wouldn't have any more for several weeks.
I'm sorry, friends and neighbors, this is no way to run an airline!

Penny,
In the August 2004 Ziegler magazine, there was an article that stated
that
each state has technology assisted program and it gave a phone number to
call in each state.
It stated that the loans were low interest and that they were to be used
to purchase assistive technology. It said you didn't need to be employed
either. So it's just a matter of finding out whom to contact in your
individual state.
