Hello Julian

All of you have succeeded in totally confusing me. Since when can
we buy Miami (whether regular 3.2b or Deluxe) through an auction place?
The only place I ever saw Miami, included, when you had to pay, was
when a lite version was included in the AmigaOS/DOS version 3.5 bundle.
Then, there was a slightly different procedure in registering it (as I
recall). Otherwise, the only way is to get ANY version of Miami (2.9
is okay), start it up, use your browser (graphical or text), go to the
NordicGlobal Web site, download the current, full version, and register
it by filling out the form and paying the money. Doing this will also
allow you to use the MiamiSSL program and associated files.
Now, maybe I am totally "out to lunch," but how I described the way
to get registered, is the way I did it and the only way I know. If
the question was, "Where, the h*ll, do we send our check or money
order, since the Florida, USA address is no longer the correct one for
that?" I would understand it and would try to find an answer, as, this
happened to a friend of mine. But, I cannot understand connecting the
buying of Miami with eBay, or any other auction.
I am not trying to come across as snobbish, egotistical or bullying.
I am just confused and seek some clarification.
=============================================
Maybe you can help me Julian - as I am totaly fed up with the registration process.
I myself do not use credit cards for anything - I always pay cash/cheque
here - so after recently getting on the net (in August) I decided to register for
Miami by cash - the only way open to me - as I thought it the best stack available.
I sent $35 cash (via secure delivery) to the PO Box in Florida - as given in the Miami
registration text - on the 5th September.
On the 6th November I had my letter retuned as undeliverable - nobody
claimed it. So I waited three months and have nothing - to say I am cheesed off is
putting it mildly.
During the period of waiting I emailed Kruse three times to enquire what the holdup
was (I didn't know then that the Post Office mailing address was no good) but I didn't
get a reply to any of my messages. This annoyed me as well - a courtesy response if
nothing more would have
been something.
Quite frankly the service is appalling - I want to support Kruse but he
appears to have moved to California (I think) without leaving a forwarding address
and he didn't reply to my emails when I wanted to know what was hppening with my
money.
This is no way to treat people who want to support your project is it?
So as you say - Where the hell can I send my registration fee to as I have no other
way of registering other than cash.
If you know of Kruses where abouts or can find out via other channels for me I would
appreciate it.
I'll give the guy one more chance - but if I can't get registerd before
Christmas he can stick it and I'll go with Genesis which is being upgraded shortly as
I understand it.
Hope you can make some enquiries for me.
Thanks.
Colin
