Hi Neville, I sympathize with your hurt feelings, but I think it is important to realize that the offer of a gift no doubt came from Amazon in the U.S., and AI Squared simply passed it on to their U.S. customers. To suggest that AI Squared intentionally sought to exclude anyone is unfair. You have to chalk it up to the internal workings of the U.S. Amazon advertising department. This is my best assessment of the situation.

Hi Listers, I take exception to the below message for the following reasons. The message begins: > At Ai Squared, it's our pleasure to extend rewards to loyal customers like you. But then goes on to say: > (Note: You must reside in the United States). Well, I don't reside in the US but have had a retail version of WEa for around 20 years and currently have some unused SMA's also. I have no idea how much has been spent on updates, SMA's and voices over the time but no doubt, a considerable amount. but, because I don't live in the US, I am not eligible to enter the competition which deals with a Company that sells on the net anyway. What percentage of GW Micro's income has been obtained from overseas buyers over the years is impossible for me to know. But, no doubt there are more blind people living in the rest of the World than currently live in the US. However, the real annoyance comes from the fact that someone who has recently downloaded a free copy of WE under the Microsoft Office arrangement and lives in the US is eligible to enter. Unlike those of us who live elsewhere in the World and have contributed much to GW Micro's income over the years. It is realised that the competition prize is not all that generous but to me, it is the principle of it. What do other overseas retail owners of WE think or am I just being too sensitive? Neville.
