I am sorry that the sales staff treated you like that. I have had very
good relations with them. They probably wanted your address because
they tend to divide up their sales force by geographic areas and would
need your city/state for their mailing lists and records.
Sometimes when we are too pushing with salespeople we forget that they
earn their salary more by commission than hourly wages. Zeos publishes
widely their various systems with prices. These can be ordered very
easily. My system was custom made and took more of the salesman's
time. I even upgraded within the first 30 days. Talk about complicated
paperwork with credit add-backs and debits. 
Try giving them another chance.
