I have been trying the last couple of days to complete installation, and begin use, of JBuilder 2005 Foundation. I try to start a tutorial - No files. So I download and install the sample files and extras. I try to start a tutorial - Now there's information about reading "Compiling, running, and debugging" in the documentation - No documentation. I try to download the documentation - I am "not allowed" to download from there, I'm "redirected" to the correct Borland download page, and the result of this is that I end up at the same page from which I'm "not allowed" to download! What kind of twisted sense of humour have these people? Next problem is when I try to get some help for this by contacting Borland. HA! Crap! Sorry, we can't help you without a serial number (and, of course, without a serial number we're not going to tell you how to get one). So I send an email to a site concerned with documentation issues (stupid! what's this to do with documentation?) from which I get a reply telling me that I should be emailing technical support (see above). I actually downloaded the product a couple of weeks ago, but some time during the day yesterday I got an email with a registration code "... which will be loaded automatically next time you open JBuilder" (oh yeah?) So, is it at all possible for anybody to download JBuilder documentation? And how can I get a serial number? - I've never been offered one so far. I'm beginning to wonder whether it's all going to be worth while if i DO eventually get answers to these questions - Borland certainly are doing everything within their power to AVOID answering, and with that attitude I should probably find a company which doesn't so openly show its utter contempt for those irritating creeps known as customers. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
