Well, grin, I figured I had better start paying more attention to the subject lines. Guess that little matter kind of took second place to the excitement of the upgrade for a while.
But, I finally did log into my account, and I still couldn't add anything to the shopping cart. I was sort of thinking that Raul gave us some reason as to why the shopping cart wouldn't work, but then maybe my memory is wrong about this. As for anyone else wanting to look at the site, although the site does seem to require a zip code to let one add anything to their cart, they don't have to be logged in to put things into their cart. For, they can log in or create an account after they hit the checkout button. So, for those interested, here is the link to the site: http://www.schwans.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Aldrich" <[email protected]> To: unknown <[email protected]> Date: Monday, Jul 5, 2010 22:57:08 Subject: Re: [GWN] Voice Sense reviews? > > > Hi again, > > Log into your account and give it a try!
