Re: Continual charge for maintenance releases???

Equis,

According to your statement below, the cost of $9.00 includes the cost
of the CD and shipping anywhere in the world.  I just received my MS Pro
7.01 update and was charged $18.00 -- $9.00 for the Cd and another $9.00
for shipping.  I believe you owe me $9.00.

And now, after such a short time since version 7.01 was released, I'm
supposed to shell out another $18.00 for the update to version 7.02 to
fix more of the bugs that were not resolved before version 7.0 was first
released ??????  Why don't you get the software right in the first
place??? 

The only problem with the online patches was confusion over your
numbering system with the different versions of the program.  At the
time the updates were published on the web, you were calling both the
EOD and the Real Time versions by the same name and version numbers --
no wonder there was confusion !!!

I hope you go back to publishing updates on the web, distinguishing
between the different versions of Metastock, and that you don't double
charge for the update CD as you did me !!!
