In article <484@mstr.hgc.edu> rhb@mstr.hgc.edu (Roger H. Brown) writes: |I just read a two page article in an Ashton-Tate newsletter entitled ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |"New! - Full Impact 2.0, Unprecedented Power for Full Impact 1.1 and |Excel Users." Many impressive enhancements were described and the |last paragraph said | "Full Impact 2.0 is available for a suggested retail price ^^^^^^^^^^^^ | of $295 through the Ashton-Tate authorized reseller network. | .... | Upgrades from previous versions of Full Impact are available ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | for $50 by calling A-T Customer Service at 800-227-4866." | |so, I called the Customer Service number to order my upgrade from 1.1 |to 2.0 but alas Full Impact 2.0 isn't available yet. Does this sound like blatant false advertising to anybody else? In their own newsletter, Ashton-Tate advertises Full Impact 2.0 as "is available" (not "will be available") and that upgrades "are available", when in fact neither is true. Someone convince me this isn't really slimy. -- Brian L. Matthews blm@6sceng.UUCP
