If the support team thought before my departure that connecting via an
Atari was easy, they should have been in touch more often. When Grahame was
still with the company, we spoke often about how support was progressing.
Sadly, when he departed I lost the easy contact I had, and things
degenerated to the point that I didn't get answers to questions I
desperately needed answering. It was all a bit messy, and I'd have been
quite happy to continue as things were, if the lines of communication had
been better :(

I appreciate that. With your direct lines of communication within the
company, perhaps you could ask for me why nobody ever had the good grace to
acknowledge the barrage of mail I sent informing support et al that I was
terminating my support agreement. There are still things unsettled to a
small extent, and it would be better to continue this discussion via email,
if you have time.

ATB, Frank.
