Sometimes, it just amazes me at the things folks can complain
about...   {smile}

This afternoon, PowerBASIC released a free update to our PowerBASIC
Console Compiler 4.0 and PowerBASIC 8.0 for Windows.  We invested
thousands of programming and testing hours into this update, yet we
provided it to our customers at absolutely no cost.  The only thing we
asked of our customers in return was a confirmation of their contact
information.  Their name.  Their address.  Their telephone and email
address, so we could be certain our records were up-to-date, and that
we were actually providing a new compler to a person who had actually
purchased the prior version.

We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an improved version of
PowerBASIC.  We gave it to you for free.  All we asked in return is
that you confirm your contact information.

You refused.  You provided false information.  But you were given the
free update anyway.  You have it on your computer today.  And you are
complaining?

We didn't refuse your update.  We didn't refuse you future updates.
We simply said:  If you refuse to provide truthful contact
information, you'll have to obtain future updates by mail, not by
download.

Please enjoy your updated version of PowerBASIC.  Have a nice day,
Olav.
