" All Cybernetica did was damage the market." In my humble opinion, anyone who advertises a product that isn't shipping should be taken out and shot. I had two instances of that today where I called to order a product whose advertisements arrived in the mail and both said it will ship in three weeks. Oh, the product is all done, they both claimed, just has to be packaged, ad infinitum. I assure you that my opinion of your product went down when I received my books, saw the ad insert and upon calling learned that the product wasn't shipping. I think it's a sleazy tactic, no matter who does it or what the product is. Just the way I see things. In regard to Cybernetica's problems, you bet that cashing checks and processing credit cards before shipping product is downright immoral, if not illegal. But as far as them advertising a product before it existed, I still see nothing but the pot calling the kettle black here. Jerry
