- This 'CHECKOUT' BBS distributes software for the sole purpose
- of testing prior to purchase. You've 24 hours to try the software
- and determine that it is worth purchasing, then you must destroy
- it. The BBS Sysop feels that it is unfair to computer users
- that they are unable to evaluate software to see if it suits their
- needs. Many users have purchased products by the way the program
- 'looks' on the box and have been extremely disappointed - and have
- therefore wasted their money and (more important) time. Nobody in
- their right mind would purchase a car without test driving it
- first, or for that matter...purchase clothes without trying
- them on, so how can software vendors expect users to buy one
- of their products without first testing it? They will send copies
- of their software to large corporations to test but seem to forget
- there are also other users in the market willing to purchase their
- product if it meets their needs. This is where this checkout BBS
- comes in. This program is for evaluation only, if you like this
- product then go to your local computer store and purchase it,
- otherwise PLEASE do not USE or in anyway DISTRIBUTE this product!
- There are many advantages to purchasing this product including:
-
- Until companies come up with a better way of allowing users to
- test their products before purchasing, 'checkout' BBSs will continue
- to make available products for your testing. Companies recently
- have started to head in this direction and you can now return some
- products to the company if you are not completely satisfied
- (Norton, and a few others), but this does not remedy the situation
- as the refund/credit takes a long time to get processed and is a BIG
- hassle! We feel that under the current software industry standards
- of doing business, that evaluating software releases prior to actual
- purchase is still the best solution.
-
- Remember...if you decide to use a product, you MUST buy it!
