Dear Dave: I've been doing an evaluation on AS for the past month. I sent the registration the day after I received the software. I also faxed it to the numbers specified for both the manual and the update. After 2 weeks and reading all the form letters here I called the 800 # and they did not have me registered. She said she registered me and I would be getting the update. Today (2 weeks later) I spoke with "Penny" who said I was registered but not to receive the update or the manual. She asked me to fax it again, but I have sent the original to Autodesk by mail. I would appreciate anything you can do. I can E-mail you my registration info directly if that would be helpful. Thanks. JB

Dave, Is it just me, or does this administrative trouble have anyone else a little nervous about the MAX migration deal? If we do indeed have to make the deal before shipping date, what's going to happen when no one can find a record of it when shipping time comes? Or, a record of our R4 registrations when we make the deal in the first place? Terry

>Is it just me, or does this administrative trouble have anyone else a little nervous about the MAX >migration deal? I'm nervous as hell, Terry. I even posted a message to the (normally) reliable ADesk people asking about this, and received not the slightest response. Since I didn't get SIGGRAPH tickets (first time in years) I am particularly nervous about them knowing I am a registered owner of R4. What makes it worse is that I don't have a regular dealer, either. (My former dealer went into another line — Greg Pyros). Here in Nevada we don't even have someone close, so all my business has been mail order and… Oh well, I can only hope that SOMEONE at ADesk will get their act together (my customer list is the most precious thing I have — too bad ADesk doesn't feel that way).

" Anyway, I haven't rcvd the Animator Studio upgrade either. Sent in my card and later an updated request directly to Nik Grant via E-Mail" Sorry that I don't have any info yet. I'm making phone calls every day. At this point, I have been promised a list of who's going to be on the next shipment of c1's. That list will show up tomorrow. Thanks.

<<promised a list of who's going to be on the next shipment of c1s>> life is so much easier one frame at a time (SMPTE). Imagine the MAYTAG Repairman, with nothing to do ;). Thanks for the help – Jeffrey

Jeffrey, I sent you a copy of the B&W manual for AAStudio, but it came back. Can you confirm your address in a private email? The note on the package says "NO ACCESS NO NAME ON BUZZER". Is your buzzer unlabeled? Thanks…
#187855From: Jeffrey LererAug 29, 1995 6:15 AM
Hi Nik – sorry about the NO ACCESS NO NAME ON BUZZER! you can indicate on package that it can be left with the ground-floor store or landlord's office right across the street. Alos, I'm hoping that the Ani-Studio upgrade is coming with it ;)= Sorry for the hassles Jeffrey
