I suspect that would be 30 who placed orders before they tried to sort the page on Jan1. But there are several hundred (I'm guessing here) who were alerted that if a certain url was used then an "uncorrected" version of the page was available. I beleive this situation continued until the Monday morning when the sorted it properly. I certainly know of 4 folk who placed ordeers and going by the volume of traffic on other lists then several hundred UK-wide is a reasonable guess. I can report that the call centre staff sounded as if they had had to deal with a lot more than 30 disgruntled punters :-) > > Now, how on earth it can it possibly be in Kodak's best interests > to pursue their current course of action?

Plus I believe some greedy b****rs tried to order 50 or so at a time. > Apologies in advance if this email looks bad when it hits the list > - I ammm using a notes client for email, and an curious to see what > it looks like! :) Looks fine here in Kmail. > =========================================================== > Graeme Chambers Tel (01355) 905132 or 07866 260880 > Download Systems Ltd Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > =========================================================== > > > > > "Gordon JC Pearce" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 10/01/02 13:05 > Please respond to scottish > > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > cc: > Subject: Re: [scottish] [[EMAIL PROTECTED]: > Shop@Kodak DX3700 Digital Camera] > > > Hmm, just got a mail from kodak... > > Just spotted this on theregister > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/23/23608.html > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- >- http://www.lug.org.uk > http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk > http://www.linuxshop.co.uk > ------------------------------------------------------------------- >- > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- >- http://www.lug.org.uk > http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk > http://www.linuxshop.co.uk > ------------------------------------------------------------------- >- -- Regards Willie Fleming [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
