Hi,
I first complainend to the dealer he said it wasn't his problem
call the manufacturer I really don't know what went on between them but
some time latter the dealer took me to court. The actual terms I forget
what they call it but it's like slander. He proved that I was the reason
that Borland would't supply him with products anymore. That I ruened his
good name. Darn right I did!! What it came down to at this point was to
bring in Borland to show it was Borland that caused him his troubles not
me. My layer explaind to me they didn't want to get envolved, I could make
them get involved but it was going to take money I didn't have and if I
lost I would lose that money too. So basicly I pled guilty and paid the
fine. I'm leaving a lot out as not to get myself in trouble again. This
dealer is very rich and it's my opion that's why Borland didn't want
anything to do with it because he could out spend Borland. And that's
about what I learned is that you can't fight money in court!!
I only contineued to buy products from him through a friend because
he sells things I couldn't get anywhere else and my friends where not
having a problem like this. Like I've said already this happend a coulple
of times before, the first time the manufacturer just fixed me up, when I
got tired of it that's when I got in trouble.
I'm not going to court again, if Autodesk want's to fight him
that's fine but I don't want envolved with him. My lawyer doesn't want
anything to do with it ether I found out today, and he would only advise me
not to do what I'm doing right now. I've decided just to report the dealer
to Autodesk and upgrade latter.
I really need to let this thread scroll off and get lost. I have a
fealing I maybe getting myself back in trouble so I hope I've explaind what
you wanted to know because I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I'm not

being rude I just think this thread needs to be long gone before I do

Andy,
What a horror story! It's certainly sad times when ordinary people can't
get small matters resolved without getting dragged into an expensive court
battle. I understand your dilemma but it's very sad that things like this
would make one afraid of pursuing one's rights.
I had a legal battle with a large software company over employee benefits
and they simply out-spent me, and although I felt I was right I just
couldn't afford to pursue the matter. Fortunately, I got out without losing
much money by just agreeing to drop the matter without ever re-pursuing it.
A very unpleasant experience, but it won't stop me from demanding my rights
– at least until it goes to court <g>.
Man, I gotta tell ya, that's an amazing story, truly the "dealer from
hell". I honestly can't believe that something like that could actually
happen, and find it even more insane that the dealer could actually prove
you slandered him with Borland. It all sounds like some sick
software-twilight-zone episode.
