Message-ID: <3747@hcr.UUCP> Date: 10 Aug 88 14:29:41 GMT Organization: HCR Corporation, Toronto Lines: 46 In Article 9839 of comp.sys.atari.st, lharris@utgpu.UUCP does a wonderful job of getting the story from one side, that of MicroD's. I'd now like to rebut and clarify some of those "facts". Since Mr Harris couldn't take the time to mail me a reply as opposed to telling all of netland the "truth", it's only fair I get my chance to stand on the soapbox. 1) out of warranty? Let's see, I bought it on the 25 of April, and it died on July 30... yup, you're right, by a whole week. My mistake. Gee, I guess that means that I can't get my drive fixed north of the border eh? That's the impression I got from MicroD. Fortunately, that isn't the truth. George from the UofT was kind enough to point me at some people who repair drives locally. 2) no receipt? wrong again. sitting right in front of me this minute. who told you i didn't have one? another "fact" from MicroD? 3) I don't know anything about this. The UofT computer store has been less then forthcoming about information concerning said drive. No documentation, missing software on stiffy, and no help when it came to getting either. 4) The folks at Electronic Playworld couldn't help me. They don't carry Supra drives anymore and all they did was point me to MicroD as somebody who might be able to fix the drive. Your timeline is also wrong. I called Electronic Playworld before I called the UofT. 5) Demanding? "Hello, I'm the owner of a dead Supra drive and I'd like to find out about getting it fixed" is demanding? I wish I could've taped her response. I'd use it to scare away seagulls. 6) I'd like to thank you for that nugget of information. It's the first I'd heard of it. See 3) above. Why couldn't the UofT tell me that? 7) See 6) above. 8) No comment. I'm not a retailer. 9) My supplier right or wrong eh? If MicroD wants you to "explain" anything else, post it to alt.flame. -- Mike Nemeth HCR Corporation, 130 Bloor St. W., Toronto, Ontario, Canada {utzoo,utcsri}!hcr!miken "more logic than Mr Spock!"
