I bet you ordered from the "promotion: only 20 5-CD sets left; the website
will be brought down after all are sold". I did, also in Feb. After a month,
the CDs were yet to come; but here comes an email : "sorry, we are not in
the business of making CDs; to ensure the best quality for our customers we
have processed the CD copying professionally...blah.blah.. and the CDs
should arrive within a few days". Another month passes by and still the
same - vaporware! At some point I remember, the site was down. I wrote to
the head honcho -Ed Haskins - got his email from ComputerWorld or
somewhere - and demanded an explanation. The response was that the CDs were
in mail a month ago and he didn't know why I never got them. He offered to
refund the money and that was what he did. At that time I was under
impression that the CDs might have been genuinely lost in mail, but looking
at the mails from others, I guess a lot of those "lucky 20" got licked!
