" 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.
