[DUG] Code Gear marketing !

[Paul A Norman]

Your doing well to even receive emails, ever since registering D2005 Prof. I
have nevere receeved emails even though I have ticked anything put in front
of me, followed Richard Vowels instructions to the Aussi Borland site, etc.
. .

I missed out the emails that would have led me to a cheaper upgrade from
2005 to 2006, and still find the followup programme non-existent, your post
just exemplifies the problems.

I'm still stuck on D2005, put it on my laptop recently, did all the
upgrades, and it shows only sucess to upgrade 2 not three, and the F1 or
direct Delphi help system is non-existant at this point,

I've had other friends who never hear back ever from Borland after
registering either.

Hopefully someone reads this!!
