I called the company that puts out Pub. Partner today and they said that
they hope to start shipping next week. My guess is that means I will
actually receive the program in late January, if nothing else goes wrong. I
understand that this is a small company and they are delays but what really
upsets me are the Amiga mags. like AmigaWorld that have allowed Publishing
Partner's ad to run month after month, for at least a year, telling people
that they need only send in their money and their PageSetter disk to
receive the program.
I believe that AmigaWorld knew months ago that the program was not shipping
and would not ship for some time to come. They at least knew"!at it haven't
shipped in the first six months, yet they still continued to run a full
page ad that they knew ( or should have known) was offering a program that
was no where near really to ship.
Thats what bothers me the most. I feel that a computer mag. should make an
effect to police their ads and protect the folks that read their mag. Of
course, a full page, full color ad is hard to turn down. I believe that
their are some Amiga mags. that would have turned it down or at least asked
some pointed questions. Anyone agree?
