I wanted to place an order for DOOM a couple of weeks ago. I got a call indicating my charge card order had been refused (because the credit card company hadn't gotten my payment). Now that I had enough credit, the order line doesn't work any more. 1-800-IDSOFTWARE (1-800-437-6392) is reported as "This number is not in service." I recovered my senses enough to check with 800 directory assistance. They do have ID Software listed. The new number is 1-800 434 2637" -- Reports on Security Problems: To Subscribe write PROBLEMS-REQUEST@TDR.COM Paul Robinson - paul@tdr.com / tdarcos@MCIMail.com / tdarcos@access.digex.net Voted "Largest Polluter of the (IETF) list" by Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> Voted "Largest Polluter of digex.general" by Mike <voss@orange.digex.net>

The new number is 1-800 434 2637" 1-800-IDSOFTWARE never EXISTED. The number has ALWAYS been 1-800-IDGAMES. -- ----------- Hank Leukart ------------ | "Official" DOOM FAQ v5.6 Writer --- (ap641@cleveland.freenet.edu) --- | FAQ by E-mail or "ftp.uwp.edu" ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- ------------------------------------- | -----------------------------------

In the beginning, Ben Parrish spake thusly unto the net: >1-800-IDSOFTWARE (1-800-437-6392) is reported as "This number is not >in service." If you would have looked on the information screen, you would have seen that the actual number is 1-800-ID-GAMES, not SOFTWARE. exe00863@vnet.net --- Aim to please. Shoot to kill.

This is WAY off subject, so just ignore this, but : 1. My name is Ben Parrish. 2. The guy who wrote the initial post in this thread is named Paul Robinson. 3. We are at the same internet provider. 4. I had had problems for several months with it calling me someone ELSE's name (which changed on a daily basis.) 5. We just fixed that problem two days ago. 6. Now Paul's posts are showing up as me. 7. I sold Paul a computer a few months ago. The irony is so thick that I have to drop to the floor to keep breathing normally... exe00863 (exe00863@char2.vnet.net) wrote: : In the beginning, Ben Parrish spake thusly unto the net: : >1-800-IDSOFTWARE (1-800-437-6392) is reported as "This number is not : >in service." : If you would have looked on the information screen, you would have seen : that the actual number is 1-800-ID-GAMES, not SOFTWARE. : exe00863@vnet.net : --- : Aim to please.
