OK, let's talk about them as a company. If I call, I get a human on the phone in less then 30 seconds. If I call Microsoft, I might get someone in 20 to 30 minutes.

First off there is no such thing as being too busy when you're trying to improve your status in society and calling 911 is way different than calling a company. Next, I want to apologize to Aaron for saying that he was being defensive. Maybe this was not the word I should have used. The only thing that bugged me is that I was given the reasons why they took a while instead of telling me what they are going to do to improve their customer service. GW-Micro is a company and as such, it will be treated. You do not make companies your friends, you give them feedback so in the future they handle things better. Just like how we send error reports about their products we should send them feedback on their staff. I mean we are already struggling outside of GW-Micro we should not have to struggle with the people who are helping us. I mean would you rather have a 40 year old who still lives with his mom and is grumpy answer the phone when you call or would you like it better having someone who is willing to help you at any cost. I being a customer would want the best service if I am going to invest my money to help this company grow. Companies like GW-Micro could care less about what the customer says or thinks as long as they get their money. This is why they sell you a screen reader for over 900 dollars. The only reason they make it better is sometimes not to help the customer but, to help themselves in selling it. How come we can't get it for half of the price. I really do not know what goes into making software but, in my opinion I do not think it takes $900 plus worth of writing. This does not just apply to GW-Micro but other companies like Microsoft. This is just my opinion so I have no clue how this works either so I am not going to get into it. Lastly they treat us as consumers so we should treat them as a company and not a friend. PS I like GW-Micro's payment plan and I think this is a great start on improving this company. There might be more things that have helped and I might not know about them.

Ernest suggestion, call if and when you needs are time critical. Anyone who
is too busy to make a call on something that is very important is way too
busy.
I don't think that excuse would hold up when pondering a call to 911<smile>.

sorry for being so "touchy" or "feely" but when I am going to pay more than

$900 I would like to get some amount of good customer service. I have
nothing against GW-Micro because I know that they are doing a great job on developing accessories for the people who need it. I would like to just get things done in a reasonable amount of time. Maybe GW-Micro needs to higher
someone to stay at the office and answer e-mails while the other sales
people go out and about. I have no clue how that all works so I am not going

to get into it. This has not changed my mind in acquiring window-eyes
because I prefer it than JAWS. I am pretty sure that you would be "touchy" and "feely" if it was something that you needed right away so you could get things done quickly. I understand that I could have called but I am so busy to be put on wait. I thought an e-mail would have been quicker. Now, do not go around calling people "touchy" or "feely" if you do not understand what the situation of that particular person is because one day it might be you
in that same situation and you will not like it when someone calls you
"touchy" or "feely." Finally, let the good people on this list get things
done and do not be a hypocrite.

I fully agree.  My God, everybody is so touchy, feely.  Relax, man!  If
you
require immediate action, call GW Micro.

Juan,

No one is being defensive; reading emotion in an email is a road to
madness.
I was just sharing information about why you may have not received any
response yet.

Sorry I forgot about the weekend and people do not work on the weekend.
Now, about your sales department being in a meeting, we as consumers
do not know this kind of information. I did not mean to get anyone
mad, I was just asking around to see if I should wait for a longer
time or try to send it again. My apologies. I really did not expect
such a defensive response, I thought people in GW-Micro were more
understanding? guess not. again sorry if I offended anyone

Juan,

Remember, your five days includes two days of weekend. In addition,
our entire sales department was in a day-long, face to face meeting
with HIMS yesterday. So it really hasn't been that long. And, truth
be told, sales is not a quick to reply as support; they're often on
the road. Generally speaking, sales questions, while very important,
aren't usually critical in nature like those to support. If you feel
enough time has passed, and you still haven't received a reply, then
you should call us; it's always possible for to be marked as junk or
not be delivered properly.

to send an e-mail to there sales department? The reason I am asking
this is because I send them an e-mail with a few questions and it
has been five days and they have not responded. do they usually take
this long?
