Hi

I ordered the Demon Internet Suite at the beginning of the month and the
guy said it would take 3-5 days to arrive. It still hasn't and yet the
money has been removed off my VISA card by the look of the statement I
can get over the net.

So Demon where is it?

Don't worry, you're not missing much.

My copy arrived within the stated "about 7 days", but the CD is scratched, the
info. that comes with it is out-of-date and the set-up manual doesn't know
what it is talking about.

It is also still being shipped with "Turnpike v3.x" and not v.4. According to
some supervisor bod at so-called "Customer Services" Demon aren't selling
version 4 yet. Anyway, I got a free upgrade to version 4 with Demon
Dispatches before Christmas, so what was I complaining about? (See separate
thread)

Oh well I managed to get through in the end - apparently it was sommat
to do with the change in where the orders are handled from? At a guess
it is moved up North :-)

Anyway apparently it will be on its way and they gave me a site-id to be
getting on with so I can at least download it. Now that is all I wanted
in the first place!

What! You have to pay for outdated software and the books that go with it.
James I'm surprised at you ;-)

But I like it so neeerrrrr. Anyway it puts less load on the old PII chip
so I can multitask with a proper OS and Not Win 9x.

What are you on Ian? I know what it is you have not got enough work to
do at Plonkytel Towers in Glasgow because you've got no cuppas to make?
So whats it like being the new boy? Be a good boy and use your home
account next time you mention my name :-)

For those who have no heard it....

There was a young virgin called Ian from Troon
Who took a young girl back to his room
She lay on the bed
And he calmly said
"Who does what and to whom?"

:-)

as as for you - you left Plonkeytel for BTInternet and then came back!
