- I have good reason to feel the way I do. Let me explain. I found
- the Epson ES-300C scanner for $899 without software. I also found
- it going for $1399 with your software. After a quick demo at the
- store I went with your software which cost me an extra $500. I did
- this because I trusted ASDG and the software looked very good. I
- also purchased ADPro because of comments that you posted in this
- group recommending it over Imagemaster.
- (note that I realize the $500 is what I paid and not your price)
-
- I am upset because for $500 I got scanner software that does not
- work and for another $200+ I received ADPro which, in 'my opinion'
- has a long way to go if it's going to catch Imagemaster.

- I will register it shortly. As far as my posting this to a public
- forum. Well, there is a reason. I'm sure that ASDG has received many
- calls from people with 040's since your scanner software was released.
- (I received EMail from some of them today) The calls have obviously
- gone unanswered. This is the best way I know to get a company moving.
- Believe me, I would not have said a word (on the net) if I thought that
- these problems were new. Your tech support person verified that the 040
- problems were known and had not been fixed. (this was on Tue 12-22).

- Your receptionist did not even ask me what product I was calling
- about let alone say anything about registration. I called the number
- listed at the end of chapter 3 in the manual. Maybe I didn't
- get the correct receptionist.
