[ql-users] New email address and address

2005-05-18 Thread Darren Branagh

I think I have posted this here before, but apologies if I haven't...

I am still getting emails to my old o2 email address - while this is still
active, and will continue, I only check it maybe twice a week at best, due
to the fact I have no phone line at home, and rely on a GPRS/Bluetooth link
from my laptop to my mobile phone for email and internet access at home
(very expensive - so only used in emergencies!)

Therefore, for a much speedier response, use this email address:-

dbranaghATcmsperipheralsDOTcom

(obviously replacing AT and DOT with the correct symbols, this done to try
and annoy the damn spamming robots) This email is checked constantly daily
weekdays while at work, 9am-5.30pm.

Also, I am also still getting some snail mail to my parents address in
Wicklow. Again, this will get to me, just more slowly as it needs to be
forwarded. My new postal address, for the foreseeable future, is:-

Darren Branagh,
Gortnaclassa,
Cong,
Co.Mayo.
IRELAND.

Tel: +353-86-8100090.
Voicemail: +353-86-58100090.

Dilwyn, can you put this change in the next QL Today?

And, if anyone from QUANTA is listening, can you do the same in QUANTA?

Sorry if this seems repetitive, but I have got a few people complaining
about trying to contact me lately and hopefully this should set the matter
straight.

Many thanks,

Darren.

There are much better software around which is free.
The point I was trying to make was a slightly different one - the
licence conditions attached to the DP bundle prevent ME from selling
or giving away MY copy!
(From memory, they also forbid me from doing the same with any earlier
versions of the software included in the bundle software that I might
have previously acquired.)
I also bought them when it was offered (having never really bought any 
s/ware, it really expanded my collection).  From the agreement:

(10) Remember, by purchasing this collection you have agreed to its licence 
conditions.  Note that it is for your personal use only (you can make a 
reasonable number of security backups of it or its contents - again, all for 
your own use only), and that you agree not to resell, or otherwise pass on, 
whether for reward or otherwise, any part (except ZIP and UNZIP) or all of 
it, or of any Digital Precision Ltd software already possessed by you, to 
_any_ third party, in any circumstances.  Breaches of this will be dealt 
with severely.  This means, among other things, that if you are disposing of 
part or all of your QL system you may NOT pass on this collection (or any 
part of it, except ZIP and UNZIP) with it.

Plus
(13)...And of course, nothing in this document shall be construed as taking 
away or reducing any statutory or other enforceable rights that you may possess.

The question I have (as I can't remember) is if attention was drawn to 
statement (10) BEFORE the purchase of the goods.  This comes from a bit of 
paper (containing the document) that came included with the disks AFTER I 
had purchased them - there is no mention of what to do if I disagree with 
the terms of the document (like Windows says contact your supplier for 
details of how to return the unused product(s) for a refund if you disagree 
with its licence terms).
