Hi, please forgive if this is posted to the wrong group.

I am interested to know if my current problems with Symbolics Inc are
common. I ordered Macsyma in November, but because of some problems with
licensing and pre-payment I only received the tape last week. When I installed
Macsyma.309 I found that there were several files missing, so I called to
find out about it and was told that they knew of the problem and a patch tape
would be ready in ABOUT 5 WEEKS !! I called back several times to try to 
complain but each time ended in telephone tag. Has anyone had any bad dealings
with Macsyma and Symbolics or is this an isolated case??
