I also subscribed to dial data when I first purchased supercharts, after all
they were endorsed by Omega Research.
I was soon calling them Dirty Data, and the only thing I found I can do with
their data is store it on a CD, as it's no good for anything else.
Their billing dept was routinely late sending out the bills, it usually
arrived in my mail box around the 10th of the month, although I would return
the payment immediately, they would complain because I was late paying.
I have noticed some of the list members recommend Pinnacle Data,
www.pinnacledata.com
Cleaner data for half the cost.
