(I posted the following remarks and questions in "comp.sys.amiga.misc" a few
days ago - but the kind of replies I received - 2 of the 3 advised me that 
PC JPEG files are the same as Amiga JPEG files and therefore don't need 
conversion - made me think that I didn't state my point clearly or had simply 
chosen the wrong group. However, my complaint about the lacking conversion 
capabilities referred to the ad where it says: "Perform file conversion as 
you transfer! Imagine selecting several IFF picture files on the Amiga and
have them transferred in PCX format to your PC. What I had hoped to do was
convert GIF files that are widely used on Netscape and on PC's to something
my Amiga will recognise like JPEG. -- Here again is my original post:) 

 "It's finally here!" it proclaims. 
 The full page ads for an application under the brandname LinkIt! carried
 by Amazing Amiga in their last few issues promises all types of file transfer
 in Serial and Parallel between an Amiga and PC that also will "Perform file
 conversion as you transfer!" and it further states that it "Includes 6 foot
 parallel cable.". 
 Too good to be true?
 Well, I bought one direct from it's originators: "LEGENDARY design
 TECHNOLOGIES" for US $ 59.95 back at the beginning of March.
 What I got in the mail from them was what they call a "Special Version" that
 cannot connect to Parallel ports and with their "FREE" Serial cable was only 
 able to slowly transfer some small files from the Amiga to the PC but not 
 from the PC to the Amiga.
 On their Registration Card they ask you to: "Send in this card to receive
 your FREE PARALLEL CABLE" and then in small print "When available". 
 My e-mail inquiries were answered by a Syd Bolton who said they will mail
 me their latest software update which he said will "solve some" of my 
 "problems". 
 Ten days later I have not received anything.
 And I discovered that "file conversion as you transfer" really only means 
 three or four very basic formats that don't even include GIF's or JPEG's.
 
 I am only posting this in order to warn other potential buyers and to 
 express my concern about the kind of advertisers the last U.S. based
 Amiga publication attracts.
                                         ANY ADVICE?? 
                         Still hoping for a better Amiga future, dzander
 
P.S. It is now 2 weeks since I received an e-mail from Syd Bolton with that
     "latest software" offer and nothing happened. I also did not get an
     answer to my e-mail inquiries (legend@io.org) sent at the beginning of
     the week.
